I added this warty angler to my 75-gallon reef tank after researching compatibility. It’s active and colorful, though it did gently nip at a soft coral. I removed that coral and now it’s thriving. Good for intermediate reef keepers who want a unique look.

The fish arrived healthy and seems to adapt well to the tank. It’s not overly aggressive, but it does chase smaller fish occasionally. I keep an eye on it and have adjusted the tank layout to reduce stress.

After a few weeks, it’s established in the tank and looks vibrant. I appreciate the detailed care notes. It’s a great addition to a mid-sized reef setup with proper planning.
