Biology
provided by Fishbase
Benthic species (Ref. 58302, 75154) found in inshore coral reef (Ref. 75154). The average depth for all known captures was 11.2 m. Individuals maintained in experimental aquaria change in color from dark gray to light cream within 2 weeks. Oviparous. Eggs are bound in ribbon-like sheath or mass of gelatinous mucus called 'egg raft' or 'veil' (Ref. 6773). Solitary and sometimes among hard coral branches (Ref 90102).

描述

體側扁，卵圓形，腹部膨大，尾柄明顯。頭高大，頭背緣陡斜。吻短。眼小。口裂大，下頜突出；上下頜、鋤骨及腭骨均具齒。鰓孔小。體表粗糙，被雙叉小棘。頦部無肉質小突起。背鰭硬棘具3棘，第I硬棘特化為吻觸手，其長為第II硬棘之1.5-2倍，末端不具釣餌(Esca)，第
II硬棘游離，第III硬棘高大，末端彎向後方；第二背鰭長，具軟條11-13；臀鰭具軟條6-8；腹鰭顯然短於胸鰭；胸鰭軟條9-11；尾鰭圓形。體色呈淺黃色至黃褐色，體側或具暗褐色網狀斑紋、或具暗色斑塊及網紋。
棲地
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
淺海珊湖礁區底棲魚類，棲息深度在0-73公尺間，但一般皆發現於12公尺內。利用吻觸手頂端的衍生物-釣餌(Esca)及配合極具保護色作用的身體，可吸引別種小魚來覓食，然後出其不意地予以吞食。所產之卵，形成絲狀團狀，具有漂浮力。
Antennatus tuberosus
provided by wikipedia EN
Antennatus tuberosus,[1] known as the tuberculated frogfish, is a species of fish in the family Antennariidae. It is native to the Indo-Pacific, where it is found from East Africa east to the Philippines, Indonesia, and other islands on the Pacific Plate. It is a benthic reef-dwelling species found, on average, at a depth of around 11.2 m (37 ft), though it is often found in water shallower than that and occasionally much deeper, at up to 73 m (240 ft), and it is a small fish that can reach 9 cm (3.5 inches) SL. The species is known to be able to change color in the span of two weeks, with individuals shifting from dark gray to light cream to match the experimental aquaria they are kept in. It is oviparous and its eggs are bound in ribbon-like sheaths or large "rafts" or "veils". Like most frogfish, it is reclusive and solitary, sometimes being seen among hard coral branches.[2]
