Can I keep an Angler/Frogfish in my tank or will it eat my small tanks mates? Specifically the "Assorted Angler/Frogfish". Also, will they eat my corals?

So the only fish I could possibly see it eat in my tank is the royal gramma but if I had the assorted frogfish at a young age and it grew up with the royal gramma, the royal gramma should be a decent size that it can't be eaten right? Adult size royal gramma - 4in. He's currently two in right now.They are known to eat anything smaller than themselves. But your corals would be fine.

Ah yes it does, I have another question can they eat tomini tangs? Since tomini tangs are a bit tad smaller than a full-grown adult frogfish. If so are there any peaceful frogfish/anglers?Not sure I understand your comment about them growing up together. If gramma is too big for a baby frogfish to eat, it will be safe. For now. No amount of not being eaten now will prevent it from being eaten when the frogfish grows up. They’re not like raising a cattle dog with a heard of sheep. They won’t form a bond. Does that answer your question?

To be honest, I'm kinda lazy in setting up another tank but it be cool to keep one if they were peacefulI dunno about the tang.
Peaceful ones? There aren’t any herbivore ones and they’ll all eat anything smaller than themselves.
They sure seem like an awesome fish to have though. Would you consider keeping one in its own tank? I’m starting to think I might but my husband might just leave me lol

Well, he's nowhere to full size, looks like I can't keep angler *Sigh*. At least there are plenty of other options!Is the tomini full size? If you had A 3”-4” angler, I don’t see it eating a full size tomini...not to say it wont repeatedly try. If you get the anglers that get larger than 5”, it will totally eat the tomini.

No, I was just considering one, that's why I came here to ask for other people's opinions!Do you already have the frogfish?
