None he's the only fish, be very afraid :o they like to eat. Best kept as a species only, I do have hermits, starfish, a snail, corals, two clams, and a sand dollar ;)

do these guys bite? cause my clown's biting is getting stronger, and it is actually starting to hurt. wonder what it would be like to be bitten by one of these chunky fellows :/

They don't even bite their food so no they would not bite a human. And plus when they see your hand coming for them they just lower their head and try to look like a rock.

So freaking cute! If I had more than 1 salt tank I would have an angler for sure :)

 

Yeah that's what I said and then I got another tank so I could get an angler. :D

What size tanks do you guys have those in? It must be hard to keep a reef with them as they seem to be very messy eaters :lol: . How often do you feed??

 

Either way awesome fish guys. I really like the wartskin!

I havent had an angler for a while but the one I want again, is a hawaiian A. tuberosus. More golem like, and a lot smaller than even A. maculatus

that looks like a pictus or commerson's. I dont remember how those two move their lures, but way too big for a nano either way

I have mine in a 14gal.

I have corals and its just fine. ;) they inhale their prey not chew like a puffer so the only mess is the dog poop sized $#!? they take :P

I feed on Wed. & Sun. Silversides

The teeth looking things are probably just tissue. They have a lot of funky shaped tissue all over their bodies. Rogue is about 4" long. All anglers can change colors and quite quickly. Rogue was black but due to all the HA (I'm working on it) and the orange mushrooms and serpent star he has turned dark green with a few orangey red spots. Do NOT buy for color. And yes, anglers (and a lot of other fish) use suction feeding and then they swallow their prey whole.
