ohh thats a cool looking fish. I assume its not reef-friendly :)

tang daddy 12-24-2007 08:18 AM

looks like it belongs with a scorpion family of fish

Myka 12-24-2007 04:20 PM

What's the common name? Is it a Frogfish of some type?

teejay 12-24-2007 06:08 PM

It is a Weedy Scorpionfish.Rare and sought after in the hobby.
I keep him in my reef tank with ocilaris clowns,naso tang,kole tang,scopis tang,foxface and majestic foxface.
I had a dozen green chromis at one point but i am now down to three.He is predatory after all.

Wow that thing is unbelievable. What size tank is he in? Aren't you worried about him inhaling the clowns?

Excuse my french "fondosa" and you know where I got him Jim.Can't thank you enough for the great deal on this guy.
He is in a 210 and yes I am a little concerned for my clownfish but he has been in there for months and as long as they stay away from his mouth they should be alright.He is not much of a hunter he just sits and waits for food to come to him.

Lol I always give you sweet deals and you to me thats what friends are for so no sweat but just so you know I'm stealing him back from you at some point when you least expect it lol cause he's the nicest one I've seen!.
