  • Painted Frogfish (Antennarius pictus) Cream Phase- Indonesia..Frogfish are lie & wait carnivorous predators.  They have an appendage above their head which is waved about to attract prospective prey.  All frogfish have large mouths are are capable of swallowing prey to their own size.  Rather than swim above the bottom, they walk along the substrate using their pectoral fins.  Frogfish inhabit reef areas to a depth 73 m.  Often within one species there will be several different colour variations or phases; brown, black, yellow, white, yellow, red and orange being the most common.  Some species have hairy variations and maybe covered in numerous small wart-like knobs.  Frogfish have been known to mimic the colours of the surrounding terrain (ie sponges & ascidians).  Variable size depending species.   Length 2 - 30 cm

  • Acanthaster planci, commonly known as the crown-of-thorns starfish, is a large, multiple-armed starfish (or seastar) that usually preys upon hard, or stony, coral polyps (Scleractinia). The crown-of-thorns receives its name from venomous thorn-like spines that cover its upper surface. It is the second-largest sea star in the world...A. planci has a very wide Indo-Pacific distribution. It occurs at tropical and subtropical latitudes from the Red Sea and the east African coast across the Pacific Ocean, across the Indian Ocean to the west coast of Central America. It occurs where coral reefs or hard coral communities occur in this region..
