Ophiura is absolutely correct. In order to keep an AZA (American Zoo and Aquarium) accrediation, public aquariums must use food fit for human consumption.

Do not mix 2 'large" angels of the genuses Holocanthus, Pomacanthus, Euphipiops, or Chaetodopolous (sp?) They are very territorial and will fight. There is a well accepted hypothesis on differences in coloration between adult angels and juveniles. Juveniles are colored differently for survival...

Loopy, you are always asking legitimate questions. You seem to be one who wants to know more, and is seeking advice from others. I have never seen you post "yep"

Assuming you have proper lighting- I would go with Sea Grapes (Caulerpa racemosa). I must say that the Hippo will probably go after them though. Halimeda sp. are also hardy, and very few fish will bother them.

Shaving Brush (Penicillus sp.) are highly calcerous, much like Halimeda sp. of macroalgae. Most tangs do not eat halimeda, presumeably due to the taste and texture. I am not discrediting USINKIT, but I would be tempted to disagree. Here comes "Mr. More Than You Need To Know Man"... Shaving brush...

Loopy, I am on your side. Posts don't need to be acceptable to an English Comp. Professor, but at least write them in English. What bothers me are the people who post... "yep" for the sole purpose of getting their post count higher.

I don't feel LIVE rock is a necessity, but if you want an eel, get some rocks for hiding/lurking spaces. Live rock is definately beneficial, but a good wet/dry and skimmer will suffice. (IMO)

MATTIEJ- Thanks for the compliment, I will pass it on to our Sr. Aquarist of sharks.

I think a good butt kickin has alot to do with your fishe health also. What else is in the tank with it? It obviously has been the victim of aggression.

We (my work) have a 10 foot Sand Tiger in our shark pool. Our setup is a giant ring where we can change the flow direction/current. It allows the large pelagic sharks to continue swimming as though they are in open water. It holds 225,000 gallons.

In nature they feed on crustaceans. Shrimp, mussels, etc. with weekly vitamin injections (I like selcon)should work.

Spiny's aka Burrfish are roughly the same to care for as Porcs. Yes they are prone to ich, as are porcs, but a little quarantine will help with that.

The grounding probe is more for the tank inhabitants. Stray voltage is one of the factors in HLLE. For your own safety, get a GFCI outlet. It will trip the breaker if electricity is going where it shouldn't.

My vote is on spaghetti worm

WOW, I have a Percula named "Notnemo" and a Hippo named "Antidori"

A crocodilefish in a 55? They get waaayyy too big for a 55

1) GFCI 2) Grounding Probe 3) Good idea of smashing it

DVS- Hats off to you. I find it funny that the responses like "I tell the lazy bum to get a job" et al, come from posters whose hobbies are endemic of teenagers who still live with their parents, and have no clue what its like to be down and out. I GIVE FOOD AND CLOTHES TO THE HOMELESS OFTEN. I...
