Ophichthus altipennis (Kaup 1856), the Highfin Snake Eel. Seen
mostly in the sand by day. Darken with age, size. A younger individual

The Snowflake, Starry, or Diamond-Backed Moray,
Echidna nebulosa (Ahl 1789) is a fabulous aquarium species;
small, compatible with other fish species and adaptable to captivity. It
is certainly the most peaceful, outgoing and desirable moray species. To
about thirty inches total length. Base color of silver gray with black
and yellow "snowflakes" randomly sprinkled over the lower body. Hawaii

Antennarius striatus, Striated Frogfish.
Tropical West Atlantic and Indo-Pacific; South Africa to Japan and
New Zealand, in mud or sand bottoms, often associated with sponges.
To seven inches. Aquarium and N. Sulawesi
photos. Distinguished from the similar appearing A.
hispidus by its worm-like esca. Many pseudonyms (28) exist for
this species, including A. scaber. Males with more
tufts/camouflage than females. |

Antennarius maculatus (Desjardin's
1840), the Clown Anglerfish. Indo-Pacific. To four inches in
length. Often seen out in the open, especially when small,
apparently mimicking toxic nudibranchs. Most are white with orange
or red mottling, but many colors exist. Have prominent illicia ("fishing
poles") that resemble small fishes. N. Sulawesi pix. |
