Problem with my angler fish

[Motorcityreefs]

Within the last week I've noticed air pockets forming on the face and head of my sargassum anglerfish does anybody know what would cause this

Sounds like Gas Bubble Disease: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2014/8/fish

Also look here: http://forum.lionfishlair.com/disease-treatment/bubble-on-angler/

I haven't had much experience treating this condition. @Lionfish Lair is who you need.

Thanks for the info

I would be looking at that first link. Frogfish do indeed ingest air, but the Sargassum are not like other frogfish in that regard. They actually have swim bladders and hop on top of floating rafts of seaweed. This is not something that is specifically related to frogs.

You might want to tell us a little bit about your fish and set up. Pictures would be phenomenal.
