The bizarre looking Angler can go on a hunger strike if stressed. Live foods can be used to entice a feeding response, after which they can be weaned onto frozen foods. They are known as an ambush predator, they will remain still and hidden until the prey approaches then they will engulf the prey whole. Beware: Anglers are known to eat small fish and ornamental crustaceans.
