Do any of you guys know? Or has @Lionfish Lair said anything about how they react?
@lion king do you have any experience with these fish?

 

[aykwm]

I dont know since they are not common fish to have. I did a fast search and found that frogfish dont tolerate copper well, so chloroquine phosphate will be better option, for grunt I didn't find anything but I believe it should be fine with copper because my LFS got it once and he had it with other fish in copper. Ill wait for the experts to confirm both.

The sweetlips should be fine in copper, but the frogfish is very hit or miss. Some have reported success, but I think the "official" stance is that frogfish are copper intolerant.

 

[ngoodermuth]

I don't have personal experience with either, but I would have suspected the frogfish might have issues. Suspicion confirmed ^^

@Humblefish hey... do u think this is ich?

Hard to say from the picture, but it is pretty small to be ich and numerous. I'd lean toward velvet on this one. Lions do ok in copper, so if you cant get CP I'd go that route. I would agree that the angler shouldn't be put through copper but the rest of your list can be. I've keep the flashlight fish before but it didn't go through copper or anything else.... so I'm not 100% sure on that one.

He also looks to have some sort of cut or infection going on. On his side.

Good catch! It almost blends in with all the stripes of the fish.
