Fowlerichthys scriptissimus | Calico Frogfish

This is a calico frogfish (Fowlerichthys scriptissimus) with a zebra-striped pattern. This body pattern is relatively rare compared to the more common mottled pattern. This species usually lives in waters 70m and deeper. The fish appears in shallower sometimes during winter months, perhaps for reproductive purposes. Photographed in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
