frogfish psychedelic pertama kali dikenal dunia pada tahun 2009 oleh Ted Pietsch , Rachel Arnold, dan David Hall dalam jurnal ilmiah Copeia. dan dianggap sebagai species baru.. sebelumnya tanggal 2 April 2008 Pietsch, Arnold, dan Hall menyelam di perairan maluku dan mengumpulkan Holotype tentang ikan itu disana. Dan bahkan hewan ini termasuk "Top New Species 2010" versi International Institute for Species Exploration.. Sebetulnya, hewan ini pernah ditemukan Pada bulan Juni 1992 di Bali, hewan ini dikirim ke Dallas Aquarium untuk diteliti, tapi kondisinya sangat buruk sekali, hewan tersebut tidak lama mati, sempat diabadikan melalui foto, sayangnya kualitas gambar pada waktu itu masih buruk. Kemudian para peneliti mencoba untuk mengawetkan hewan tersebut pake formalin dan ethanol, tapi warnanya jadi memucat. dan penelitian tersebut jadi buntu. awalnya hewan tersebut di klasifikasi sebagai anglerfish, tapi setelah penemuan tahun 2008 dan ikan tersebut diawetkan pake formalin dan ethanol(ceritanya mau ngebuktiin kalo sebenernya ini ikan sama kyk yg ditemukan pada tahun 1992), dan hasilnya sama dengan ikan yang ditemukan di Bali tahun 1992. Nih Videonya cuma semenit.. lucu gan, loncat2 gitu kyk kodok...

Oya nih gan ane kasih Pic Frogfish yang lainnya tapi Asli dari Indonesia juga... Spoiler for Commerson's Frogfish: Antennarius commersoni, resting on a jetty piling; Ambon, Indonesia Commerson's frogfish, Antennarius commersoni, is one of the largest members of the frogfish family, reaching close to 30cm in length. It's color pattern is highly variable, tending to blend in with its present surroundings. (Lembeh Strait, Indonesia) An all-black Commerson's (or giant) frogfish, Antennarius commersoni moving from one piling to another, beneath a jetty. Frogfish are poor swimmers, and may use a combination of tail flapping from side to side and "jet propulsion" (shooting swallowed water out backward through their narrow gill openings) to move slowly through the water. (Ambon, Indonesia) Antennarius commersoni. Found under a jetty, this individual blended in so well with surrounding sponges, bryozoans, corals and hydroids, so as to become almost invisible. (Ambon, Indonesia) Spoiler for Warty Frogfish: Antennarius maculatus, Komodo, Indonesia. The lure of this species resembles a small fish. Antennarius maculatus; these two are probably a mated pair; the female is usually larger than her mate. (Komodo, Indonesia) Spoiler for Striated Frogfish: A white striated frogfish (Antennarius striatus) with its lure partially deployed. (Alor, Indonesia) Spoiler for Painted Frogfish: Antennarius pictus; Lembeh Strait, northern Sulawesi, Indonesia Painted frogfish (Antennarius pictus); Alor, Indonesia Spoiler for Hairy Frogfish: Juvenile "hairy" frogfish (Antennarius striatus) wiggling its distinctive lure in front of its head (Ambon, Indonesia) The striated frogfish, Antennarius striatus, has a predilection for growing long skin filaments to aid in its disguise. (Lembeh Strait, Sulawesi, Indonesia) Spoiler for Yawning Frogfish: This striated or "hairy" frogfish (Antennarius striatus) has its mouth stretched wide open in a "yawn". One theory is that yawning improves oxygenation of the gills in sedentary fish. (Lembeh Strait, Indonesia) Spoiler for Mated Frogfish Pair: A red male hairy frogfish (Antennarius striatus) is sitting alongside his much larger mate. She is ready to lay eggs, and has attracted the male by releasing pheromones. Female frogfish are usually larger than their mates. (Alor, Indonesia)

Beuuh gan, ternyata indonesia kaya akan kehidupan lautnya ya, secara gitu loh indonesia sebagai negara kepulauan... ini tuh baru dari Frogfishnya aja, pasti masih banyak species unik lainnya yang belum di ketahui... siapa tau nantinya ada spesies2 khas indonesia lainnya...
