Well, the lfs has finally found some decent frogs, so naturally I came home a happy man, but somewhat lighter in the pocket.

The old one has continued its colour change and now looks like this:

Those that saw the earlier threads will know that he started off looking like this:

But then this is more about new fish than old ones. So earlier today the reef tank looked like this:

Until the fish were moved into their new quarters. While the first one happily swam out of the bag

The other one had to be helped:

And so we focus on the more yellow fish which looks to be another Antennarius maculatus and very similar in colouration to the one I already had. The main difference would appear to be that there are less spots, which I assume will mean a less potent ability to change colour (the old one could be black, brown, green, orange or yellow).

And then there is the other one, ostensibly another A. maculatus though I am not so sure. I have not yet studied it with the books out, but the genereal structure has me more in mind of a Lophiochoran sp than a member of the Antennarius genus.

Regardless, he does look cool:

In case anyone wondered how I get such good shots, I have a Nina:

I apparently either need to pay attention here more or I need a nap...or both...
I'm looking at the pictures thinking "Those are the strangest frogs I've ever seen..." Then I scroll down and it's like "Ohhhh frogFISH..."
:blush:
 
Awesome froggies as usual! :good: You're going to need a pretty big tank for that Nina species though. :lol:
