will survive my Antennarius ?

[val skimmer]

hi all.

some expert in these animals can tell me if these corals can live with him ??? and Two anemones tapetum also .
I know they are sensitive to the nematocysts of sea anemones, but stay away from them??

greetings to all

Asx long as you don't have carpet 'nems, the fish should be fine. I would, however, try to rearrange the corals so the fish has some more open space on the substrate.

just picked up a 2" orange wartskin angler a few days ago myself. I have him living in an inline LPS refugium much like yours. The corals shouldn't be a problem but I would worry a bit about those carpet anemones.

The store I purchased mine from showed me how they them to eat frozen silversides by wiggling it in front of the frog by skewering the tale with a plastic stick , but I'm going to stick with a small live damsels for the first couple months while I get him to settle in. I can handle dropping $3/week to feed him for a while. I put a 3/4 inch domino damsel in the 3rd day and it was gone within about 20 minutes. 1/2 hour later he was out hopping around the tank to let me check out his awesomeness.

I did a lot of research on these fish before I purchased it. The key to maintaining their health really seems to be weekly or bi-weekly feedings of a variety of live foods, preferably fish of marine origin. Their diets should not contain too much shrimp or crustacean meat. Many types of crustaceans and mussels contain thiaminase that can cause vitamin B deficiencies in Frogfish over time. If you can wean them onto frozen food, Tilapia fillets are said to be an excellent staple with a good nutritional profile for the frogs. Live guppies or feeder goldfish really should be avoided at all costs.

We feed our anglers twice a week on a varied diet of SW fish chunks, uncooked, shell-on table shrimp, scallops, squid, lobster and silversides. i mentioned silversides separately because that's the only food we get from the LFS. All of our other food is bought in small quantities at the fish market or grocery store seafood counter.

We present the food on a modified acrylic feeding stick (we call it a "stealth stick"), which is described in this article:
