Well camouflaged by their shape, Commerson�s Frogfishes (Antennarius commerson)have been found in a wide range of colors: yellow, red, orange, gray, green, black. They have been known to change color over a period of several weeks, to match a new background. A frogfish can engulf a fish as big as itself.

This frogfish was perched on a coral head very close to our dive mooring in about 35 feet of water off the south Kohala Coast near the Mauna Lani Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii.
