length. Often seen out in the open, especially when small,
apparently mimicking toxic nudibranchs. Most are white with orange

Antennarius pictus (Shaw & Nodder
1794), the Painted Anglerfish. Indo-Pacific. Principally imported
from Indonesia and the Philippines. To 16 cm. overall length. Comes
in all colors, and mottled, matching with local decor. Typically
found amongst sponges, rock near the bottom or on the mud/muck.
Below, N. Sulawesi images of some of the many color and marking
varieties of this species (or multi-species
complex). Distinguished by bony part of "fishing
rod" being about twice the length of second dorsal spine and
"lure" being an elongated and flat tuft. Lembeh
Strait. |
