Bali Frogfish (Anglerfish) (Antennariidae)

This page illustrates the frogfish that we photographed on several dive trips to Bali, Indonesia. It is not a complete listing of the Antennariidae that occur there but shows only those for which we happened to get photos. Many frogfish species are highly variable in color and pattern, frequently overlapping between speccies. Often it requires examination of the structure of the esca (lure) to help narrow down which species you have, and that is not always visible from photographs. We've done the best we could at separating species but some may well be incorrect. We welcome suggestions or corrections at uwkwaj@yahoo.com.
