Frogfish

Frogfish are part of the anglerfish family, they also have the illicium or rod and on the top the esca or lure. Frogfish are found in almost all subtropical and tropical oceans all over the world. Frogfish come in all different vibrant colors from pink to blue and sometimes both! These fish wait in camouflage until a fish crosses there path then rapidly gulps it down. These fish are semi-deep sea fish that travel to depths of up to 300 feet. Some of the species do look poisonous but that is there trick most of them are NOT poisonous.
