I kept a sargassum frogfish for a bit while I was living on Kauai. A buddy found a bunch in some flotsam while he was captaining a dive boat and took a few home. They are really cool creatures. It got to where I had to go to tide pools 2-3 times a week to catch enough food for it.New friend from Nemo's. Nephew named him Coral Dave and it struck haha.
Super excited to have a frogfish again; it's been years. They are my favorite animals to keep.

I've heard that sargassums need a lot more food than the other species, very interesting! I was hoping Dave would be more sedentary than he is, but he's been out hunting almost every day so I'll likely have to feed him more than the others I've kept haha. The dwarf species I used to have almost never moved.I kept a sargassum frogfish for a bit while I was living on Kauai.
