This specimen can change its color to match its surroundings. It will basically eat anything it can fit into its mouth and somethings you might not think would fit. It gets one of its aliases from the fact that it has the large dark basidorsal spot that some say looks like a coin. |

The Spotfin Frogfish (Antennarius nummifer) is sometimes called a Coinbearing Frogfish or a Whitefingered Frogfish. It belongs to the family named Antennariidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.0 inches in length, the Spotfin Frogfish is generally passive in nature and sensitive in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Antennarius nummifer should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023.
