@lleencosnail These are NOT deep sea anglers, they are frogfish, a type of angler because deep sea anglers cannot stay in tanks and have a clear lure.

Yes, thank you! :) You definitely know your frogfish, lol! I looked it up and that's him for sure. I could never get a definite ID on him before from looking at the other Antenarius pictures. Much appreciated!

oooh awesome video David!
Is it a deep sea anglers? I've only ever heard of deep-sea anglers. I didn't see any lure.

Thanks! :) It was sold to me as an Antennarius maculatus but I think it may be an A. pictus. They can be found among reef corals both shallow and deep, but they stay smaller than the deep sea anglers. This one does have a lure but it's hard to see in this video and he doesn't always use it.
