Antennarius hispidus (Bloch & Schneider, 1801)
Shaggy anglerfish, 20.0cm

We saw these at Gilimanuk, Bulakan and Tianyar.

The two below from Bulakan and Seraya also resembleAntennarius striatus but appear to have smaller escas not shaped like a worm.

This smaller one below is from Tianyar.

The ID on the one below from Melasti is also somewhat tentative.
