Somebody dropped a Gummy Bear in my tank!!! (or actually, Frogfish advice needed!)

Ya, that would be so disappointing to watch it go from that brilliant red color to drab grey or brown!! Is he eating yet? Have you tried raw shrimp? Maybe even larger Mysis shrimp?

I really like frogfishes and the fact that they can "walk" across the ocean terrain. I'm definitley considering one once the new tank is set up. I'm not much of a fish guy (prefer corals), but I'd bend for one of these.

I am also concerned about its eating habits (would prefer to know that it's accepting dead food before I bought it) and the change of colourization over time in captivity.

Best of luck with your new frogfish. It's a beaut.
