The Tentacle Mouthed Phantom Frog (Anopsibactrachus albus) is a species of frog native to the cave systems of central Asia. The range between 7 and 9cm in length and are pale white in colour. Their mouths are surrounded by a ring of fleshy tentacles, used to detect prey and find their way around the pools they live in as they lack eyes and are completely blind. Their prey consists of crustaceans, fish and  smaller amphibians. Whenever a male and a female meet they will always mate. Females only lay a few eggs, which hatch directly into frogs.

The project already has an almost identical concept, the lobe-nosed cavetoad.
