Sweet!!!!

 

[rebelprettyboy]

wow man! I want one of those for my 14 gal!

 

[flricordia]

IT is awesome. Can't take my eyes off of it. Looks like a white sponge with tuffs of algae growing.

 

[flricordia]

Pretty much so. The wart skinned don't get as big as most others and are pretty easy to train to accept food from stick. You can keep them with about anything that can't fit into their gigantic mouths.
Ahhh! looks like they found each other. Would be cool if they bred.

Wow! I love the white one. I looks really like a white ponge on a rock. Great camo.

 

[hammerhed7]

great angler, the color pattern on the white one is incredible, it would literally disappear in a tank with alot of coraline

 

[oceanlover]

What does an angler eat? I assume its a carnivore? And what kind of personality does it have?

 

[flricordia]

eats about anything that will move and fit in its mouth. Seem to be personable fish. I have had the purple one for around 3 months and it will now swim up and down and all around acting like it is trying to get my attention when it is hungry. They both start to f;ip their lures when I come to the tank, associating me with food source.
Watching them walk about is really cool. They can sit upside down too wedged between rock. The modified fins/hands are really something to see when they reach above their heads to hold themselves in place.

i went to the lfs today and they had one that was the brightest orange i have ever seen, it was sitting in there coral tank and at first i brushed it off as a tree sponge, but then i looked at it again and then it dawned on me what it was, and it was amazing, and really big, i have only seen them like the size of a softball but this one was a little smaller than a football
i wanted it so bad

Must have set you back a pretty penny. Wow though truely stunning.
