The Red Angler is red in color, with a few red, black and markings covering parts of the body.

Whatever color it is, you can count on it will change, as they try to blend with their surroundings.

A good reef dweller, these Anglers are a hardy aquarium member but not recommended for beginners.

They require large amounts of live rock in a 20 gallon or larger aquarium.

These fish are very inactive, but make sure to provide a suitable sized aquarium for them as they grow to full size.

Caution: An angler may eat any small inhabitant of the aquarium (crustacean or fish) that is lured into its mouth with the use of an esca (modified first dorsal spine) that looks like a small, tasty fish. In fact, these fish can even swallow prey their own size! It will accept most meaty meals including feeder fish.
