Yellow Weedy Scorpionfish (Rhinopias frondosa). Anilao, Philippines

Warty Frogfish Antennarius maculatus occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific from the Maldives and Mauritius to Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and New Caledonia in a depth range from 1-15m, max. length 15cm.The solitary species inhabits sheltered rocky reefs. Adults are frequently among algae, soft corals and sponges, like this specimen. Juveniles live openly on reefs looking like nudibranchs. Antennarius maculatus feeds on fishes. Coloration is highly variable, ranging from cream to yellow, brown, or black with scattered dark circular spots and saddles or blotches ranging from white to pink, rust-red, or red. Heavily spotted individuals resemble Antennarius pictus. Antennarius maculatus usually has red or orange margins on all fins and the first band across the body diverts to the posterior edge of the eye which distinguishes it from Antennarius pictus.

$The yellow frogfish is a striking and rare sight in the waters around Mabul Island, Malaysia. Known for its vibrant yellow color and unusual, almost comical appearance, this small, anglerfish-like creature blends into its surroundings with remarkable camouflage. The yellow hue helps it hide among coral reefs, sponges, and other underwater structures, making it a challenge to spot despite its bold color.\n\nOne of the frogfish’s most fascinating features is its esca, a specialized lure on its head that mimics the movement of small prey. This lure attracts fish or shrimp close enough for the frogfish to ambush them with astonishing speed, despite its slow movements.\n\nMabul’s clear waters and rich coral reefs provide an ideal environment for these elusive predators. While spotting a yellow frogfish requires patience and keen eyes, encountering one during a dive is an unforgettable experience, offering a glimpse into the incredible diversity of marine life that thrives in Mabul’s vibrant ecosystems.$
