Now I might receive a bit of flaming if this is a bad idea, but could I keep a wartskin or some other type of anglerfish in a 45 gallon tank? I know corals aren't an issue and the only things that i think would be a risk of being eaten are a 3" or so mandarin dragonet, 4.5" decorated goby, 2" maroon clownfish, and a 3" dwarf lionfish. Please don't complain about if some of the other things are bad to keep with eachother, as I've never had a single problem, and the most agressive thing in the tank would probably be my filter feeding sea cucumber, which viciously ate silversides yesterday. (WTF??)
 
Tank size is fine--all but the lion will be eaten. There have been issues of froggies being stung by lions.
 
what's the smallest type of angler? most don't get to big from what I've seen. And if I'm unable to get any sort of angler, what about scorpionfish?
 
Both have extremely large mouths & appetites to go with it.
 
wait, don't sw leaf fish have much smaller mouths compared to other scorpions?
 
If it eats the Mandrin it will be very sorry. Those colours more or less are a sign to other fish to back off . It's quite toxic
