Brackish water Frog fish

Hi everyone.... Recently got 3 frog fish... 2 are orange and the other one is brown... The shop owner where I got them from told me that they live in brackish water... I'm pretty sure the orange ones are but the brown one is a bit harder to classify... Mind you I've had them for 2 weeks already and the orange ones eat live fish pretty well, but the brown one has only eaten once.... my question is.... can I throw the brown one in my SW tank or how do I go about acclimatizing it to salt water if it is indeed a saltwater variety... Thanks

There's 40+ species and 37 of them are SW while 3 species are Brackish... The brown one died about a week ago...
