Echinophryne reynoldsi[3] (known as the sponge anglerfish, Reynold's anglerfish, and Reynold's frogfish)[4] is a species of fish in the family Antennariidae.[4] It was first described in 1984 by Theodore Wells Pietsch III and Rudie Hermann Kuiter.[4][5]

It is endemic to Australia, where it occurs inshore and is typically associated with sponges. It is a benthic oviparous species that reaches 8 cm (3.1 inches) in total length.[6] Like other members of the genus Echinophryne but unlike most frogfish, the species does not have a distinct esca or "lure" on its illicium.[7]
