lol, he's not in there yet...actually i'm more afraid that the 13inch lionfish will chase them than the shark

There is a Sargenat Major in a restaurant saltwater tank here in SA. The owner is not a real hobbyist. He can't understand why his pepermint shrimp keep disappearing. Duh! Ask Ed about sargeant majors.

Watch the AC in the room, I collected some things and about froze them to death with the AC! Cold room + little amount of water = dead sea critters

The last time I went on a cruise, I went to Key West, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. I collected something from each place. I got large pieces of rubble from Key West and Grand Cayman. I got a huge Queen Conch shell from the beach at Cozumel. This is a shell that is in the water for a long time but reasonably intact. It is very porous and makes an excellent addition to my aquascape. I got a colony of Green M. digitata (from my tank) growing on it at this time. My Yellow tail damsel pair uses it as a home and is spawning in there.
I got a bucket of water in my room and have a small air pump to keep it aerated for the week. Thus I only have these LR out of the water for about 2 hrs from the ship to home.
The next time I am going on a cruise, I will do the same thing. I did not go for volume, but got interesting pieces of ruble and rock.

The zoos were actually only in the water when the waves crashed in on them. More like a tide pool on the rocks at the Chaunkenab park (sp) in Cozumel.
