cool fish but you don't want them in with smaller fish. They are coral/snail safe though, not shrimp safe Take $100 for the purple and $125 for the white, $200 for them both. They are about 4" in size.

Reminds me of our Maroon clown eating our cleaner shrimps.

Can he eat that with no problem or is he having a problem after that. I have a panther grouper that swallowed a large fish one time and he had a hard time breathing for a couple of hours.

Yeah it can be comical, the dead fish gets the last laugh when the predator cannot spit it back out.

Took it down just fine. Its belly was stretched as long as its body for a couple days and it couldn't stay upright but then there was just a large lump and then after a week back to normal. Anglers do not have gill openings but a tube-like opening right behind their modified pectorals right where you would think to be an arm pit, this opening is where they expire.
They cannot be safely removed from the water because they cannot expel swallowed air like a normal fish can. It can get trapped in their belly and suffer them to die.
They are basically a belly with eyes.
