Minimally, 30-40g. A 6" predator will put out a lot if bioload. On the other hand, it is sedentary, so it won't need to eat more than 2x/week.

They are so weird looking! I'm sure they're awesome to own

Can you please tell me how much LR I would need for a frogfish on his own in a 55g tank.
Thanks again

Depends on the species.

I'll probably be looking at getting the 6inch version
