No problems so far with corals......I had a painted frogfish that liked to sit in my sinularia every once in a while. I just took a clear feeding stick and gently moved him off of it. They learn pretty fast to avoid certain perching places if you move them off. The striated I have now prefers the sandbed so far.
Kermit would have been a cute name........someone else mentioned Oscar for Oscar the groutch:)

Let's say he WAS a cool looking fish......found him belly up and bloated this morning:( Not surprised as this is a common occurence in newly acquired frogfish......they do well for about a week and then die for no apparent reason.......what a bummer!!!!

Thanks for the condolences, guys:) I'm not sure if I'm going to try again or not. I've had frogfishes for the last 2 years and loved them but may try my hand with a peacock mantis shrimp. My daughter has had one for over 2 years and he's a beaut.....very low maintanence and much less expensive to buy.
The coral in the background is my red/green open brain coral.

I'm sorry about your frogfish!
At least you got a nice shot of him before he died, though. Good luck with the mantis shrimp if you decide to go with it!
