The fish's diet likely consists of shrimp and small fish. [4] Fish cannot be attracted using the illicium, as this spine is so reduced in size that it is unnoticeable externally. Instead, the psychedelic frogfish is presumed to strategically block off tight crevices which serve as passages to chambers in rocks and coral.
