Angler Fish

Saltwater Angler Fish

The angler fish is an obvious ambush predator, looking more like a rock than a fish. The angler fish is the ultimate predator fish. These aquarium oddballs will eat live food that is large enough and unlucky enough to wander near the angler's mouth. To help the matters the angler has a small appendage that dangles over his head to attract curious prey.  Color patterns on angler fish vary, and can change over time.
