It may just be a stump. My understanding is that frogfish don't really use their tail much anyways so I don't think this will be a problem.
However I could also be talking out of my arse on this so just to cover mine in case his tail grows back fully, I'll mention that in case I look like a doofus later on  |

Definitely looks like a dropped tail for some reason. That looks very similar to the end of a lizard's tail right after a drop.

I think you're both right I doubt his tail will grow back.
Also it really does look like how a lizard's tail looks when they drop it. Don't know why he'd drop it though (or if that's possible) but I'll check when I get home and see if I can find the tail in the tank.
