Adults develop wart-like swelling. While the others. The yellows one is another color variation of painted anglerfish. Its looking for all the world like part of the scenery. Its patience and vigilance will doubtless pay off.

As their common name implies, frogfish are lumpy and have big upturned mouth. They sit , usually well camouflaged on strong pectoral fins waiting for unsuspecting prey. To entice little fish closer, the frogfish dangles a lure like appendage in front of its mouth. One big gulp and lunch served.
