We've had a lucky month spotting these rare beauties—the Shaggy Frogfish, also known as the Hispid Frogfish! 🐸✨
The name "hispid" means "bristly," referring to the dense covering of spinules on its skin. Just like its other family members, it has a globulous, extensible body with soft skin adorned with tiny dermal spinules. Sometimes, the skin is decorated with cutaneous appendages that look like little hairs.
And have you noticed that incredible lure? 🎣 What does it remind you of? Share your thoughts below! 💬
