The common name for Epinephelus itajara is goliath grouper for a reason. These things are absolute beasts, growing to over 10ft (3m) long and weighing 800lbs (360kg). They can make meals of almost everything in the Caribbean, including a 4 ft black tip shark on a fisherman's line. Respect the grouper! by Leonard Ho | Aug 22, 2014 | Advanced Aquarist

This might be the dumbest and most entertaining thing we've stumbled across in quite some time, and clearly we aren't alone in this opinion.

No joke. by Advanced Aquarist | Aug 21, 2014 | Advanced Aquarist, Corals, Invertebrates

New research by OSU finds they will literally stay in one place and eat everything out of house and home. by Leonard Ho | Aug 19, 2014 | Advanced Aquarist
A plant-less, coral-less aquarium isn't what we usually write about, but this unique build is a remarkable engineering achievement. And considering where it's located, it's probably a good idea it isn't filled with fussy livestock.
