What's the common name? Is it a Frogfish of some type?

It is a Weedy Scorpionfish.Rare and sought after in the hobby.
I keep him in my reef tank with ocilaris clowns,naso tang,kole tang,scopis tang,foxface and majestic foxface.
I had a dozen green chromis at one point but i am now down to three.He is predatory after all.

Wow that thing is unbelievable. What size tank is he in? Aren't you worried about him inhaling the clowns?

Excuse my french "fondosa" and you know where I got him Jim.Can't thank you enough for the great deal on this guy.
He is in a 210 and yes I am a little concerned for my clownfish but he has been in there for months and as long as they stay away from his mouth they should be alright.He is not much of a hunter he just sits and waits for food to come to him.
