nice!!

are frogfish easy to keep?

Not really to hard and are reef comaptible... At first they require live food but over time will take stuff off a stick... They do not require a very large tank since they really dont swim much but do require a decent filtration system. Also may want to house them alone as you can see from the video.
 
They're fairly easy, though are not 100 percent reef safe, as they'll usually eat any shrimp you have. They won't bother any corals, clams or anemones at all though. A friend of mine, who has a beautiful one, also set up a simple planted FW tank, to breed Mollies. His Frogfish will jump into the net, to gobble up the Mollies.

Once, I was attempting to photograph it, eating. I had my camera set to burst mode, where it takes 8 pictures per second! In one photo, the molly is sitting in front of the frogfish, in the next photo, the molly was GONE! It's so quick it's amazing!
 
can you keep more than one per tank? like say, in a 200 gal reef? Maybe just like 2 or 3 frogfish and a lot of chromis to keep them full, lol
