I was at the Monterey Bay Aquarium 2 day before Xmas and the Great White Shark was there. Hes only a baby. They said hes only 10 months old and about 3.5-4ft long. They also said he'll only be in there for another month or two.

I took this pic of an angelfish with flash because I could not catch it ( swimming too fast)
what kind is it , think it was the most beautiful fish out of the whole aquarium they only have two of them. ( not in same display) here it is without flash

Holacanthus Clarionensis
Clarion Angel, fantastic fish... I saw quite a few of them in Mexico one trip. You also see Passer angels quite a bit there...
Uncommon in the hobby, Mexican gov't occasionally gives (gave) permits to collect. Jon Warner

This is probably the same angle, when I took the picture, it was in the SPS frag tank above the large tank.

When they're young <5"... they're bright red/orange with neon blue stripes like a Passer angel. A TRULY stunning fish. Last time I saw them around town the wholesalers were asking $400.

Definitely ask to see the SPS tank. I spent a good 10 minutes in awe.

The clarions are sweet! I think they were in with the garden eels when I was there in one of the concave wraparound tanks.

Give me a heads up on when you're going and perhaps we can go together.
Perhaps we should arrange a small group for a behind the scenes tour? Smaller=better because the questions would be fewer. ??? Quote:

Sweet, didn't know MBAQ had another great white. Road trip time. The last time I went was a couple years ago. Clarion is one nice fish.

Glad to know I haven't TOTALLY lost it... Except it says it's only about 4 feet. Looks like I've lost my sense of distance/size. No wonder I don't fly R/C anymore... Quote:

I'm sorry to hear many of you didn't like the Long Beach Aquarium.
Shark Lagoon has a cryptocaryon problem right now, that is why all the fish are M.I.A. They should be back in a month or two. |

I can also get your ticket at a 20% discount because I'm a member, so if you do go again, we can get a bit of a break that way. Quote:
Bubba Gumps is always good; nice sized beers and decent food (mostly seafood, though: the non-seafood selection is kinda sucky). There's a PF Changs, I think, and a Chili's, Outback and (as was said earlier) Famous Daves (I was disappointed in it, frankly, but maybe it was just a bad day). And yes, nice thread. It's a decent aquarium; I think we're lucky to have it. Too bad Sea World's having so many issues; that's a true bummer. Also, the MBAQ has a good portion of the building under construction for a reef display; forgot what the finish date was, but that should be a nice exhibit, as well. I can spend 2 days there and not really get bored. My family, OTOH (on the other hand), is another story...

I don't get it. You walk in and say "gimme some frags" and you get frags?
How would Joe Anybody get frags from that tank? Which reminds me... That's actually a good idea. To keep a particular specimen's "blood line" going, get some to qualified reefers with an understanding that the original is available to the aquarium (or OTHER aquariums!) if needed. There are programs like that with seeds; forgot what the term is for it. But there are places with seeds from all over the world that they keep and catalog, in an attempt to preserve them. Hmm...

No offense, but where I come from, taking something without asking is stealing...
And asking seems perfectly reasonable. All they can say is no! Quote:

I wasn't saying to steal anything, just saying that it was an option. I certainly have nothing stolen in my tank...
