three spine frogfish

You should probably keep it by itself, it's going to keep killing your fish. Remove the dead ones or your ammonia will go thru the roof (if it isn't allready - you should test it and probably do a waterchange)
I don't know if he's killing them or the ammonia is killing them. He is going to need a BIG tank when he grows up!

killing the feeders or SW shock, either way as said, don't want dead fish fouling your water

Three spine frogs are actually a FW species, not a true SW frog. I'm not sure if they need brackish or not.
