Got a tiny white red warty angler and it’s been active in the tank. It’s not shy and does patrol the edges. Needs a large tank and careful placement. Works well with corals as long as there are no small, peaceful fish nearby.

The fish arrived healthy and looks like the photo. It’s active and curious. I’ve had to keep it away from smaller fish. The tank is 50 gallons and it’s been stable for a few weeks.

A rare find. The white and red coloration is striking. It’s not aggressive with corals, but it does chase small fish. I’ve placed it in a corner with plenty of hiding spots.
