Received my Shaggy Angler in a mixed green and brown color. It’s active and curious. The tank is 55 gallons and it’s been a few weeks since arrival. It’s not shy, but it does defend its space. Good for intermediate reef setups with proper tank size.
Dan Dowd –
The fish arrived in a solid orange and white mix. It’s aggressive but not overly so. I’ve noticed it patrols the edges and defends its territory. Needs a large tank, which I have. It’s a striking addition to the display.

Ordered the XL size and received a healthy specimen. Color was a mix of black and green, which matched the description. It’s active and has adapted well to the 50-gallon tank. Aggressive behavior is expected, but manageable with proper setup.
