There seems to be a great deal of confusion surrounding the terminology. IMHO, all frogfishes are anglers (rightly should be antennariidae - antenna bearers. But they are not the same as the deep sea anglers), the only true so-called warty is Antennarius maculatus, so called because of the warts or protrusions on its body. The warty is a frogfish or angler itself. For more info, visit Zubi's Frogfish Page. It is, however, often difficult to identify a frogfish (by its scientific name) by its colouration alone because of the wide variation, hence we use common names through convenience.

Bro dkk08, your frogfish is a sargussum frogfish Histrio histrio.

If the frogfish refuses to eat, leave it be. In my own experience, forcing a frogfish to eat (by forcing it to be in close proximity to a moving/wriggling prey, where it will then swallow by instinct. It is forced because it has no interest in moving prey when you first introduced the latter) always results in death within 2 days.

Having said that, frogfish are greedy feeders, and will seldom refuse meals which are a week apart. The prognosis is guarded.

bro shawncel>> thanks..i may drop by ML tomorrow...any idea whats the size?? bro acidjazz's ones are damn nice, went his house yesterday to see but too big for me as his are about 3.5 inches whereas mine is just about 2 inches...
