Article Summary:

BEHOLD THE HAIRY ONE!

A detailed look at the "hairy" frogfish.

The "classic" striated frogfish (A. striatus) from Lembeh Strait, Indonesia.
Frogfishes have long been a favorite with divers, but few in this group have received more attention than the "species" commonly known as the "hairy" frogfish. In this CoralRealm feature article we investigate the taxonomy and biology of this odd fish in detail. What is the hairy frogfish? Why is it hairy? When and where are you likely to encounter this beast? All these questions will be answered, plus many more.

The article also includes a "hairy" frogfish photo gallery of enlargeable images. You will never see so many frogfish photos in a single article (you probably wouldn't see this many frogfish photos anywhere else on the web)! BEHOLD THE HAIRY ONE!
