Yes I have kept a few frogfish with them, they have no interest.

a word of caution....
I have personally seen one eat a Cerinth snail, blue leg hermit crabs and micro brittle starfish. From what I have seen they will eat anything moving that will fit into their mouths.... but that may be dependant on food supply and how hungry they are.
My one specimen would wait paintely and move toward any movement in the tank. Fed (her/him) gut loaded feeder shrimp and black saltwater mollies until it out-grew it's 20g tank.
Always wanted to have another in a species only tank.... they are so incredibly addictive, and not random like so many of the fast moving reef fish on the market today.

Although my experience with a "rogue" emerald has been with them irritating my corals, specifically my euphyllias. A "rogue" emerald could actually pick at an angler. Although I've never seen or heard from one of my friends that keep anglers that this has ever happened.
