The warty frogfish or clown frogfish (Antennarius maculatus) is a marine fish belonging to the family Antennariidae. The warty frogfish grows up to 15 cm (5.9 in) long and lives in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific. The skin is covered with numerous small, wart-like protuberances and its coloring is extremely variable because it tends to match its living environment. Frogfishes have the capacity to change coloration and pigment pattern in a few weeks : during coral bleaching events, they can even turn to plain white to blend in with the environment. However, the dominant coloration goes from white to black, passing through a whole range of related nuances such as cream, pink, yellow, red, and brown, often with dark, circular spots and/or with saddles.
