All of the anglers on live aquaria says with caution, but this one on divers den says reef safe.

There are other anglers on divers den that also says with caution.

What is the care requirements for this?

I have a 300 gallon tank. Mostly tangs 7 exact. 1 firefish, 4 clowns which hang on top. A sandsifting goby.

The angler is 2.5 inches. About the same size as the vlamingii tang.

It will eat anything it can fit and swallow. Anything can happen. Yes i believe it will eat all your other fish eventually over time. Usually 1 a night. Lol

Tangs will probably be ok but I've seen them attempt to eat fish almost as large as themselves so no guarantees.

They are incredibly interesting fish and won't mess with corals, but they're fish eaters.

I’m not going to go with the frogfish! Thank you everyone for telling me the truth about these fish! They are really fascinating though.
