Your best shot at getting your frogfish to change color is to alter the environment he's in. As an ambush predator w/ very little swimming skills, his only defense and his ability to ambush both depend on his ability to "blend in." My A. pictus has been red, black, red/orange, yellow, yellowish-green and now putty in that order - all in response to the various things I've done with his 40-gallon refugium home. The yellow was a mystery, since it didn't blend w/ anything, but the rest have been explainable based upon the dominent colors in his home.
