Ruth Walsh –
Received the angler fish in a vibrant green and brown mix. It’s quite active and definitely aggressive, so I made sure to keep it in a 55-gallon tank with larger, hardy corals. It’s a striking addition to the reef and has been a focal point in the tank for weeks.

The fish arrived in a nice orange and white mix. It’s active and needs a lot of space. I’m happy with the color variety and the fact that it’s reef-safe, though I had to remove a small shrimp that got nipped during the first week.

Got a black and green version. It’s aggressive and not suitable for a small tank. I’ve had to keep it away from smaller fish. Still, it’s a unique and eye-catching addition to the display.
