I thought Frogfish were deapwater species? If so, it's unlikely to be found in tital waters... As BigC says, PM Andywg, he's the resident Frogfish expert

Well, many marine life forms change their stomping grounds as they go through life, perhaps thats what frogfish do? I don't really have a clue about frogfish though
