Saw a yellow angler fish at a local lfs today. Awesome looking little guy but I'm
Hearing it'll basically eat everything in my tank. Shrimp and smaller clowns. Anyone have any experience? Saw a bunch of YouTube videos where these things are inhaling all kinds of stuff. Any personal knowledge is appreciated.

You really need a species only tank for these guys. I made the mistake of putting one in a fowlr. It ate everything smaller and then wiggled its "lure" at bigger fish. This caused them to annoy the fish until it died.

In a species only tank they are really interesting to watch and don't need too much room. It's great to give them their own space to use their lure action and behave as they would in the wild.
