    Do these guys need live? Or can they be on frozen? Also, if it were to be a species only tank with corals, what would be the max amount I could put in?

    One angler per tank. They'll eat any meaty foods, but DO NOT EVER PULL THEM OUT OF THE WATER. Even during acclimation keep them under water. They will contract bloat and die.

    Thanks. Is there any other fish I could put in or is it the "anything larger than its mouth" rule?

    I wouldn't add anything, they create such a big bioload...
    What size tank?
    Skimmer?
