Ok these are questions with any type of frogfish, but im thinking of getting the one i listed in the title from here eventually if i would have a good tank for it.
I will be setting up a 40 gallon breeder tank that is drilled for a frag tank, there would be a bowl of sand, and egg crate for the frags, plus i would build a couple structures of live rock in the tank for more spots for the frogfish.
Here are my questions.
Would this species be able to do well in a 40 gallon breeder? Would it ever outgrow it?- if so at what size should i give it away?
Would any type of corals be able to sting or injure it? If so what types? (like lps, sps, softies, etc)
Can frogfish hurt people? Could it sting me, or cut me or bite me and do damage? If so how bad?
Could i keep a small school of chromis or something cheap like that in their (i know they could get eaten.. or would these be bad for it to eat? or would it eat all of them right away?)
Do you think this setup is a good idea to house a frogfish in or not?
Or just any other useful info on them, and their habitat needs, and diet, etc. (i heard they shouldnt be fed too much?) Or if you know of any good threads with lots of info can you direct me to them?
Anyways thanks in advance! =)

Sorry, but not me. I've never had anglers, but I am a pretty good one.

Here's some reading for you. I am pretty sure that you will do fine with the 40. Just find as much info as you can before you leap. Since your asking now, your on the right track.
These should get you in contact with some that are keeping them also. Good luck. Awesome fish BTW.....
