Default caring for the rare flash light fish.

I am new to the salt water aquarium and have come across a fascinating fish, the flash light fish. Does any one know the care for these rare fish? Or even have any experience upon the species. Thank you.

Could you please send me a link describing the"Flashlight fish". Not doubting these exist just never heard of that fish in a marine tank. Any info would be appreciated.

I have read about these fish they tend to be found in deep waters and have a little "light" that they can turn on and off at will in search for food.
This site is the only site that has any infomation and has them in stock.
Saltwaterfish.com - Saltwater Fish, Saltwater Fish Aquariums, Tropical Fish, and Saltwater Fish Tanks
located under miscellaneous
