Nice collection of preds Carson! But fyi, that is not a stonefish. It is a scorpionfish... scorpaenopsis diabolus most likely though there are two or three closely related, none of which are true stonefish.

I suspect it has bright coloration under it's pec fins, is that right? (red, yellow, orange)

Floridajhawk- no grim for me. I've cruised the sight before but haven't really spent to much time there.

So as not to incite any criticism, I will be keeping the tank parameters to myself. (but hes comfortable and not cramped, yet)

Ive had him about 1 1/2 years or so....

Flordajhawk, I paid $150 for the black tang. Some of the lfs here are asking $400 for it.

It was in a 75 gallon maintenace tank for three years. The lfs talked the owners into trading it out for some smaller fish.

It is a princess parrotfish. They don't get as big as the others.

So far it has not bothered any of my corals however I keep mostly soft corals.

It can be a challege because I have to feed it several times throughout the day to keep it fat.

It would probably do fine in your 125 if you keep it well fed and don't put it with fish that are too aggressive.
