| Antennarius dorehensis
(New Guinea frogfish) is a very small frogfish
and well camouflaged with brownish colours. This makes it very difficult
for divers to find them. I found this frogfish only once,
in the Lembeh
Strait, Sulawesi, Indonesia |

Lives close to the surface in shallow water (1-3m). Sandy reef flats. Since this frogfish is very small, it is very difficult to find. Looks similar to Antennarius sp. |
