AW2, I am not sure if you saw my question, but I was wondering how large that particular species got? I have always been fascinated with sea robins.

Sorry about that...I didnt see the question.
From what I gather, they can reach lengths of up to 16" (I must admit that even I didnt know that). Scientific name is Prionotus carolinus.
I found this pic, online...and then had to pick my jaw up off the floor.

AW2, just out of curiosity, what tank do you have this fish in? I know you have an eel tank, but from what I remembered, you had aggressive eels.

At 3", he is currently in a 12gal. JBJ Nano Cube, with the 1" Diamond Goby, 1/2" Pistol Shrimp, 25 Nassarius Snail and 4 - 5 Hermits.
Eventually, he'll go into the 90gal, once the Morays go back into my 200gal.
If the Sea Robin outgrows the 90gal, he'll go into the 200gal. with the Morays.

Awesome. I hope that he does well for you. Keep us updated on his progress, as I will be interested in seeing how he is doing.
