Fins grow back so as long as the fish doesn't seem bothered by it, it's a minor problem.
I also had thought that if the lionfish was going to attack that he would of spiked him or something not bite. Thankfully the frog doesn't seem to be bothered by it. He's acting normal.

I agree......looks like too clean of a break to be a "bite".....that being said Im not really sure whether or not frogfish are able to shed body parts???
I never thought about him being able to "break it off" I just really freaked out when I got home and found him that way. The only thing at the time I could think of was that my lion must have done it, mostly because I couldn't think of how else it could of happened. However that didn't make a lot of sense to me as the lion has never shown any aggression towards the frog. Not sure if they are able to shed parts or not, I just hope he will be ok.

Thanks again everyone for the imput, I never thought it could be a break, so it's good to know that's most likely what happened and that it probably wasn't the lionfish.
