How many of you have kept an anglerfish in a reef? Is it a safe enviroment for the angler? Planning lots of LPS and some SPS and zoas in my new tank, and I am worried that an anglerfish would get stung.

I started a thread like this on RC, but I also want input from people in other forums.

the angler fish would be fine there they are considered reef safe with caution just for the fact they will eat your shrimp crabs or any other small fish that they can get in there mouth

+1 to the above. Could make a very cool display, was considering it myself not too long ago and its a tank design that has gone through my mind many times. I am sure that there are people on here that have kept anglers in a reef dedicated to doing so.
