This specimen can change its color to match its surroundings. Unlike most other frogfish, the Wartskin spends most of its time out in plain view. It will basically eat anything it can fit into its mouth and somethings you might not think would fit. |

The Wartskin Frogfish (Antennarius maculatus) is sometimes called a Warty Frogfish or a Clown Frogfish. It belongs to the family named Antennariidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 4.0 inches in length, the Wartskin 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 maculatus should not be housed in a tank less than 20 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.
