Pug Jaw Wormfish

[Baby Ray]

I say this little guy on DD this morning and he has gotten me interested .
I saw an article saying they are pretty rare in this hobby and very reclusive. Anyone have experience with these guys? Do you eat frozen food regularly?
Would one do well in my 29 gallon mixed reef with a clown and a Pygmy angle (the clown never leaves his anemone and the pygmy angle is very docile)
Thanks!!!

You won't see much of it, they are pretty secretive and often end up in the overflow. They ae very peaceful though. They have a more colorful, slightly bolder relative, that is more frequently available, the curious wormfish.

Are those guys relatively easy to take care of? Do they also burrow?
Thanks!!

They use other fish's burrows, but can bury themselves in the sand.

They are pretty easy to take care of as long as they have very calm and peaceful tankmates.

Thank you. My only mean fish is my clown and as long as any fish don't go near his anemone, he isn't mean
