Chromatic Chaos: Color Forms of the Longlure Frogfish

Most frogfish species come in a variety of different "flavors." This can make recognition very frustrating for the neophyte and advanced fish watcher alike. In fact, the color variability of these fishes once caused chaos in the ichthyological community. Most of the valid frogfish species were given three or four scientific names based on different color forms.

In this CoralRealm feature article we explore the many different color forms of the Longlure Frogfish (Antennarius multiocellatus). Included are 12 large professional photos of examples of each color form.
