FBname: Bandtail frogfish
Comments: Found in small recesses on rocky reefs and especially along walls.  They blend almost perfectly with the background, they often take the markings of tube-worm snails or appear to be encrusting sponges (Ref. 5227).  Demersal.  Found between the surface to 15 m in depth; rarely until 38 m.
