Antennarius randalli is very small, as is A. pauciradiatus (up to 2") but if you find one you need to send it to LisaD. If you find a second one, you need to send it to Jgroomer. If you find a third one, it should probably go to seahorsedreams. I'd love to have the fourth one, but could understand if you'd want to keep it for yourself.

There are two species that you see listed sometimes that grow to around 4"; Antennarius maculatus (the warty) and A. numifer (the coinbearing.) You just have to be careful because wholesalers and retailers aren't the best at identifying frogfish/anglers, and A. maculatus brings in a lot of money, so they may be predisposed to misidentifying a larger frogfish as A. maculatus.
