This is a fish that I saw today at the Newport aquarium. Anyone know anything about it


I will not even say anything about the aquarium other than I will not be going back for a long long time.

Rick,

It was not worth the time or money, if you are going on the weekend go to Kroger and get your tickets, that way you do not have to stand in the hour long line to get insise. Once inside you then will be in another line that is none moving do to the people that want to look at everything for hours. I have been there in the past and was able to walk around and look at everything. Yesterday it was so packed you could not even move. Then when you did look at a display, there was hardly anything in it. There reef tank was 95% dead. Most people there thought it looked good, I heard people saying how great it was, I was just like if you only knew. I felt that after this long open it should have more. I was there opening day and it was better then. They changed things around to make room for all the new stuff. They did have a few nice things but for the most part you can go to the LFS and see the same fish. I was there last year and then yesterday did not see 75% of the fish that was there from last year, they are kiling the fish and corals to fast. Since I am into the hobby I just felt the overall aquarium sucked, the few nice things they did have was not enough to make me want to go back anytime soon. I feel I can go to my LFS and see more with less people. If you have anymore question about it, I do have some pictures, Just email me or post back here..
