What are the tank suggestments and needs for an angler fish. I have always wanted one and am starting over with my tank; WHAT BETTER TIME?!?!.
Do they need speacial lighting?
Can they be kept with lionfish?
What about triggers?

Dang, sorry to miss this. Anglers are a species only tank fish. They can and will eat something up to three times their size. Sometimes even killing themselves in the process. They are awesome fish tho. Lighting isn't anything more then you want. You can keep corals with them, and use the lighting you need for them.

What size tank? That would determine the species of angler.
