I normally QT for 4 weeks with some malachite green/formalin dips in between. Hypo is probably the safest for the frogfish but Amyloodinium may not be affected (Steven Pro)
I've used praziquantel but not until after the frogfish has been in QT for a few weeks. I've had limited success, some deaths (although maybe that was not from the drug but from other factors)
Mycobacterium marinum (Ref ) and I have a paper on Vibrio found in Genera Lophius but it is in Japanese.
Scott Michael initially recommended treating frogfishes with copper but, in later writings doesn't recommend it. Anecdotally, at Altantis Aquarium in California, we found a higher incidence of frogfish death when they were kept in the copper-treated fish-only system. When the new frogfishes were placed in the reef (non-coppered) systems, mortality dropped.
Antennarius nummifer, A. coccineus, A. pictus, A. maculatus, and A. multiocellatus all grow to a max of about 4-5"and are reasonably hardy. I have not heard of any of the shallow reef-level (0-150ft) frogfishes possessing luminescent symbiosis but not a lot of research has be published regarding such.
I use the above and also include defrosted silversides and lancefish, and I make a agar-bound fishstick mixture that most of my frogfish take. I feed once a week and fast my fishes for two weeks every two months
i've been meaning to pickup some chloroquine diphosphate so i'll make sure i have that on hand prior to purchase in case amyloodinium pops up. myco was a concern i had with a recent acquisition with a granuloma, thankfully the lab results came back negative for it. 
i called medusa yesterday and they still have a number of frogfish available. it looks like makin' waves has some as well. are you a member of maslac or scmas? are you going to reef-a-palooza?
