This rare photo of a black painted frogfish was taken in Cebu in the Philippines. It is very difficult to take a photos of a black frogfish, so this collection of frogfish photos contains only a few. This frogfish is easily confused with the black colored clown frogfish (Antennarius maculatus) - for comparison look at this photo. Both have orange warts, but the painted frogfish also has a bluish edge to its fins.
