Actually white Macs are more expensive than yellow ones.. Yellows being the common maculatus. Theres a bunch of different colors. Pink, black and red bumps, orange..etc..

those guys are Kewl! i want to know more.... is yours in a 9g reef69? would they be happy in a 75 with triggers, puffer, etc... can you keep more than one in a tank? do they only eat live food?

Hey Hammon, welcome aboard!! ;) ( I should start STAK..South Texas Angler Keepers)..LOL
Yes, mine lives comfortably on a 9 gal. tank..He lives with a electric blue hermit crab, a hawaiian zebra hermit crab, 1 turbo snail, various bumblebee snails and a gorgonia he loves to perch on. Any angler would love to be on a 75 gal. tank (with bigger fish ofcourse) An agressive reef like yours would be perfect (unless you have cleaner shrimp or any shrimp for that matter, he'd eat them all). I would not recommend keeping more than 1 per tank, unless they are a mated pair.

mated pair now that sounds good. But how can you tell if you have a guy or a girl??
I found it harder to get ahold of the yellow one than the white it seemed like everytime Louis checked thats all they had was the white which were actually 10 bucks cheeper, I guess cause they had them in stock more often.
Oh yeah nice pics!!!ics

I wonder if you could get two colors to mate also cause I like the green one too. :skeezy
Well, pretty much the only way you could have 2 in the same tank is by getting 2 anglers of the same size, and same species. I would not recommend mixing species if you are a newbie. Ive known of people that have succesfully mixed species and had long term results. As far as mating goes, they do mate in captivity, but the survival ratio after fertilization is 0%. There has been cases where both anglers die of no apparent reason after the eggs are laid and fertilization occurs. There is no way to tell male from female, although, in the wild the female is bigger than the male.
