frogfish. no doubt about it. but that aside, holy cow cr*p, that is by far one o the coolest hitchers i have ever seen. unfortunately, it is probably something you might want to evict from your tank. These fish can open their gaping mouths wide enough to swallow fish only a bit smaller than themselves. that damsel on the left in the first pic for example would make a nice treat for him. They use those "legs" to walk around the ocean/tank floor. they are terrible swimmers when they decide to do so; they rather just sit around and wait for food to come to them. Give it away or sell it off to someone who wants a froggy. they're great fishy pets and that is a real pretty one to boot.
