The sargassum fish, anglerfish, or frog fish, Histrio histrio, is a frogfish of the family Antennariidae, the only species in its genus. Histrio histrio lives among Sargassum seaweed which floats in subtropical oceans. The scientific name comes from the Latin histrio meaning a stage-player or actor, and refers to the fish's feeding behaviour. Histrio histrio has a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical and subtropical seas down to a depth of about 10 metres. It is found in parts of the Atlantic Ocean and the Indo-Pacific Ocean where drifting seaweed accumulates. Order: Lophiiformes, Family: Antennariidae, Genus: Histrio, Species: Histrio histrio Linnaeus, 1758.
