Anyone ever taken care of one of the guys. I have been wanting for awhile now. Tank size suggestions and any care tips would be helpful. From what I understand the hardest part in caring for them is feeding them. Did you feed live shrimp, frozen shrimp, damsels or feeder fish.
 
If this is what you are referring to (below) the link will provide some guidance.
While I've not kept this species, I've had Toadfish & Lionfish.
As ambush predators they will eat anything they can swallow, including invertebrates like shrimp.
I think they may be best kept in a predator tank or with fish larger than themselves, just to be safe.
Use live food to begin with to get them to eat. Then they can be enticed to eat thawed frozen foods by waving it nearby using a feeding stick
Don't overfeed, as they spend most of their time laying on the bottom, so don't expend much energy.

 
Yes that is exactly what I'm talking about. I was planning on keeping it alone in the tank. Thanks for the info and the site, only seen one of guys in an LFS.
 
Also as a an fyi, they are also not recommended as a beginner fish.
Good luck!
