Dont have experience with angler fish but I think $8 is really cheap. I saw some at LFS selling for $20.

However, I have read that angler fish may attack the other small fishes.

Angler has many kind some are as small as 4cm while some can grow up to about 1 feet....... With pic maybe i can identify for you..... Anyway all of them are sluggish and ambush predator, btw they can eat fish that are nearly as large as themselves so take note..... BTW they are rather hardy and fun to have.

one LFS in Yishun has the red ones.....dun know how much.....but I got mine from LCK1** for $50 a while back.....perhaps red ones are not so cheap and common

Angler is rather docile so having a clown trigger in the tank might stress the fish as clown trigger are very aggressive fish which might bully the poor angler.. As for lion fish, it should be alright with the angler.....
