It's not easy to id frogfish. You can try this link:

http://www.starfish.ch/frogfish/Genus.html

You will probably need a clearer picture of the illicium and esca.

BTW, nice specimen you have got. Possible to divulge where you bought it and the price? Mine is usually in the range of $40 to $60. When I was first interested in frogfish, they were selling to me for $80 to $100+.

Yes, the illicium and lure are the lure and esca respectively. There is an illustration of the external parts of the frogfish in the link.

This fish can set me back by $60 to $90 (or is it just me?) :blink: I can't figure out the source. Which LFS starts with W? What is the last alphabet?

hmmm Last letter is "I".... :D

hmmm sound like some word game we have here :P

I think this is a variant of the warty frogfish. The original warty frogfish is white base with maroon patches. Some of them has very contrasting colouration.

Frog fish have been known to change their colour. Not sure if you keep this specimen well for a period, the colouration may improve. Do keep us posted on the progress of this fella.

Good Luck.

Hi Lester bro,

I went to W***i today and bought the same angler you have for $39! Apparently they made a mistake selling to you for $9. I always remembered W***i selling its anglers for $20, $39, $49 or $59, so it was a great surprise to know that they sold to you for $9. Enjoy your angler - you probably will never be able to get one for $9 again! (Unless a blur sales assistant makes the same mistake) :lol::rolleyes:
