Inimicus didactylus

Got him in the bag strait from LAX, set him up in a 20L that will be filled with a layer of mud, sand, and algae. enjoy!

My desk is getting quite full, all the tanks run in-line with each other.

Tiny wartskin angler.

Nice!! Cover that tank immediately!! Mine try's to jump out every night, he freaks out when the lights turn off. Not saying yours will 100% be a jumper, but it's not worth the risk with such a venomous fish.
Looks amazing though, beautiful red color. Where did u purchase from?

 

[palmer373]

oooh nice im assuming you got it from LA? what tank is the destination home for this guy? awesome!

 

[ashtree68]

I'm a little jealous not going to lie!

I picked him up at a wholeseller in LA. His permanent home will be the 20L by himself. Today I will put some sand in the tank and i'll order a lid through my shop asap. I was hoping my goblin would be mellow like my stingfish but he does like to run around.

Awesome!

Nice find! It appears to be Inimicus didactylus.

One thing that will help clam the fish down is about 2" of #3 grade or finer substrate so it can bury itself.

 

[demonclownfish]

can i ask what size tank min could you keep a wartskin angler in?

 

[namxas]

A 20L would be fine.

 

[blynch002]

Is there any chance of being able to keep this fish with any others or is it best left alone?

I added 20lb of live sand, and he instantly buried himself to the eyes, ill take a picture when it clears up. I put in a few ghost shrimp and very tiny damsels, so far hes showing no interest but hes had a rough day.

Assuming your system can handle the bioload, i'd say 10-15g as a minimum.

I think I may keep him with another scorp, i really want a rhinopias. first I want the caulerpa and chaeto to grow up a bit.

Hey Greg, got any pictures of your new stingfish? Derek told me it was super colorful.

 

[IbanezIC300]

I love the red color on this fish! Recently it seems like more and more sea goblins are becoming available, where are the majority of these being collected?

sitarangi- what lions are in your 29? i have a spare 29 and im considering either moving my baby niger in there to grow out or do an angler or scorp tank.

 

[ashtree68]

If I was allowed another tank I would do an angler for sure, I have my scorps and love them but always wanted an angler.

Though that's research and thoughts for another day.

 

[palmer373]

i was thinking of angler cause they arent heard of a lot here but im afraid of not a lot of movement (does it matter? lol).

indeed ill research this later, im tired!

 

[|FATHOM|]

Bad ***! Careful those guys are jumpers. Ask mehow I know

Just a fu and a stingfish. I'm tempted to move my stingfish into my 20 and get another lion...

Other cool stuff i got

Green Goblins

Yellow Clavularia

Aussie lord

That guy is cool! I recently got one too, didn't know they were jumpers though.
