walleye...
those oddballs are all ambush predators, and all will get along fine w/ other ambush predators as long as they are all about equal size. So really any small lionfish, leaffish, scorpionfish are good tankmates. if you got the bucks, consider stuff like rhinopias, ambon lions
Croc fish (often called flatheads) are awesome when small, but can get around 2ft long (depends on the species).
What i find is that its been extremely difficult to get oddball fish, so you getting a popeyed seagoblin is an excellent start. i take it your feeding the tank live ghost shrimp as food

do an angler!

 

[walleye]

yes i feed them ghost shrimp because i have a tank of wild sea horses and i have to feed them live food. we have had the sea horses for 2 years now. i buy 500 ghost shrimp every 2 weeks. i found the croc fish on line. i got my sea goblin on line from pen. we live on a island and it is easier to get fish on line then go to the mainland to get them. thanks for your help.i like the anglers and a stone fish to.

wow what island do u live on?

 

[walleye]

i live on a island called south bass island. it is in the middle of lake erie ohio. we have 350 people that live here year around. in the summer it goes way up. thats why i get my fish on line.

woah! a searobin!! If you want one, get a rode and go to thelongisland sound with a hook and a dozen sandworms at low tide. They gegt pretty big for a 55 gallon though, especualy if you dont have a breeder. That is, unless you are talking about some other type of searobin or a nickname for the fish i know over here as one....
