Angler is super cool at feeding but just chills rest of the time. They are also short lived in captivity. I kept the last one for 2.5 years and it was pretty unusual.

before I got the eel, I read someone say “one of the coolest animals in my tank” I tend to agree.

Mix the food up, clams, shrimp, squid etc.

if you stress them, like move around rock work, they’ll sometimes go on a food strike.

Got it from my LFS from a Brazilian Shipment, even they said they haven't seen one for years.

I think some wholesales are selling them out of Tahiti or the Philippines. They may be collected in Hawaii. But I saw one recently and was told "collected in the Philippines" I was also told it was rare to find them there. It was in fact a true species im looking for but I was to slow to purchase.

I'm sure once in a while the pelagic fry make it to neighboring islands and actually survive at other islands, albeit rarely. This happens with other endemics, like some end up near the Johnston Atoll I believe.

Hope to find one soon.

How is the search?

Here is mine. I've had him around 7 years. He was a baby when I got him.

He hasn't moved from his cave in years. He has 3 openings under the same rock.
