Find the frogfish

Only took 24 hours in my tank and already he's managed to camoflauge himself to the color of the coraline. Very cool, I didn't think he'd change color that fast.

Super cool! I take it these guys can change color kind of like chameleons? Does he have any tank mates?

Yeah, he can change pretty quick. He's continuously changing between orange & purple and from what my daughter told me today while I was out he looked kind of green. No tank mates for him, they can eat things just as big and sometimes bigger than them.

thats an understatement. My boss once saw a frogfish that was about 8-10" long, and within 24 hours it ate a voliton lionfish, a dogface puffer,and a wobegong shark.(all a fairly large size)
did i mention that it was almost 2 times the size when he saw it the naxt day?

yup. and the funny thing is, even after ingesting a poisonous fish and a spiny fish, plus a good sized shark, he was still alive.
