The first two photos below would certainly seem to be Antennarius striatus.. The remaining photos are all somewhat questionable since the characteristic worm-like esca is not visibly in many of the small specimens. Possibly the esca develops more as the animal grows. All those we found in Bali were quite small to downright tiny, much smaller than specimens we have seen in the Philippines. All these figured fish were found in the area around Tulamben.
