Tell us more about the grouper espo. What type is it and how big, how old, etc.

Reefer, I GOTTA see your tank with all those triggers and that queen angel to boot. Hurry and put up some pics...

Tassle filefish, Chaetodermis - by eyeballing, it's 10-12" from nose to the end of the tail. Here it is along the sidewall in 90g tank - tank is too small for free swimming:

The problems - big tank water changes and filtration for a messy eater, lack of space... Nice character, though.

Not my aquarium (I wish)

But this is the largest living thing on the planet... in a tank.

Here's my pinktail trigger. She's not really that big but at 6" she's much bigger than all my other fish.
