The fish is active and colorful. I’ve kept it in a 75-gallon tank with some corals, and it hasn’t caused any damage. It’s semi-aggressive but not overly so. Needs some space and a well-maintained environment. Great for intermediate reef keepers.
Karen Chapman –
Arrived healthy and active. I’ve observed it patrolling the tank edges. It’s not aggressive toward other fish, but it does chase small shrimp occasionally. I’m happy with the purchase and the care level matches the description.

This angler is a striking addition to my reef tank. I’ve maintained a 70-gallon setup and it’s adapted well. It doesn’t eat corals, but I keep an eye on it during feeding times. A good choice for those with intermediate experience.
