One of the more popular Anglers for its looks, the Sargassum Angler is a master of camouflage in its habitat,and can change from light to dark in coloration. Commonly found in amongst the Sargassum Algae, the Sargassum Angler completely mimics the Sargassum Algae with folds and tufts of skin. The Sargassum Angler is a much more aggressive Angler in that it will try to swallow prey 2 to even 3 times its own size, making this fish easier to place with larger predatory fish i.e. Lionfish, smaller grouper species, Snappers, and small Sharks and Rays.
