Bored into leaving
As many from chat, and the more perceptive of you too, will know, I have a large interest in the marine frogfish (Genus Antennarius). Well, I finally got a frogfish, and it turns out the nice lfs man got an Antennarius striatus, or striated frogfish. And he's a stunning fish, around 2" now and should between double and treble in size.
Hopefully I will have a feeding vid tomorrow, but for now, here are some bag shots, some close ups, and a shot of his tank, in situ. Sadly, I could not get any shots of him "luring", though he was definitely doing doing this when I arrived home from going out this afternoon.
The newly set up tank, with a lazy cat on the bed for good measure.
Hiding under live rock
He posed for a couple
And then wandered off in search of food.
As an aside, one should note that frogfish can eat fish up to twice their own size, depending on species.
