Longimanus<p>Der Rundflecken-Anglerfisch (*Antennarius pictus*) ist recht farbvariabel. Nach einigen Tagen ist die Anpassung z.B. an einen roten Schwamm erfolgt. Die eindeutige Identifizierung ist bei Anglerfischen nicht einfach und und nur anhand eines Fotos noch schwieriger. Hilfreich ist die Form der Angel und des Köders. <br>Unbedingt zu empfehlen ist die Seite von **Teresa (Zubi) Zuberbühler: <a href="https://www.frogfish.ch" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">frogfish.ch</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>**</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Natur" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Natur</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Unterwasser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unterwasser</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fotographie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fotographie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/frogfish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>frogfish</span></a></p>
