don't plan on seeing him very often. mine hangs out in between my rocks and back glass and doesn't so much as stick his head out unless there is food on a stick in front of him. otherwise, he is a very neat fish. extremely cool-looking. he will, however, eat anyhting that will fit in his mouth. much like a lion. quite aggressive towards tankmates at feeding time, but for the most part keeps to himself. he's about 6-7" right now. i hope he stays alive for a long time.

Holy Crap! I did not know they were venomous. Damn...I guess it's been proven, yet again, that the lfs does not know as much as all might believe.
Thanks for that info. I feel pretty stupid now but just glad I didn't have to learn the hard way.
As far as pics go, I will try. Have tried in the past but he is elusive

"Frogfishes are a family of fishes that look like misshapen toads - hence the name frogfishes. They are usually less than 20cm long, with some species less than 5cm in total length. They are sedentary ambush-feeders. Unsuspecting prey are attracted to a small beacon on the frogfish's snout only to discover they are falling into an enormous gaping mouth. Because their life-style is similar to the stonefish they look rather similar in appearance, although the beacon above the mouth is a giveaway. Frogfish do not have the defensive poisonous spines that make stonefish so feared."

Frogfishes and Toadfishes are two different creatures.
