Frogfish

Description:

Frogfish employ special camouflage to perfectly blend in with their habitat. Depending on the species, they can resemble coral, stones, sea sponges, sargassum seaweed, or urchins. They use lures on their head to draw their prey in close, then use their mouths to suck them in like a vacuum.

Scientific Name: Family Antennariidae

Characteristics: This lumpy, stocky frogfish figurine is doing his best impression of a sea sponge. Hand painted and expertly crafted with life-like detail, our frogfish includes specialized features such as modified fins used for walking along the sea floor.

Size and Color: At 4 1/4 inches long and 2 1/2 inches high at the top of its dorsal fin, this figure is a bit larger than a standard deck of playing cards. Frogfish are known to change their color, but this particular fish has settled on orange with brown spots.

The Frogfish is part of the Incredible Creatures collection.
