UPDATE. Angler is doing well. Instead of one long fish-shaped lump it now has a giant round lump in its belly. The angler's digetive fluids are doing the job. No signs of stress on the angler.

Thats really wierd a frogfish would try and eat something that big. Will the frogfish be safe against the foxfaces spines? i thought i read there poisonous
It was alive. I tryed to get it out but it was too far in and the angler was not going to give it up. I struggled a little to work it out and the angler opened a bit wider and the foxface dissapeared. You could see it wiggling in the anglers belly for a minute or two.
As far as the spines, I suppose the angler is able to deal with them. It did swallow it head first so the spines really were non-effective since they were compressed down by the anglers muscles as it was swallowing.

The same purple one did lock onto my finger one time, but it doesn't seem to have teeth or much closing strength. Felt kinda freakish.

Wow thats pretty sad it was moving in it's belly while being digested
If it can eat that how big a fish would it NOT be able to eat hehe
Now I am not so sure. I thought a fish its size at least was safe, but I thought wrong. I think they will have the tank to themselves now. I don't think I would be comfortable putting anything in there that wasn't large enough to eat them and I don't want that happening.
