I was a member of the Aquarium when we lived in New Orleans. I thought I would pass along the following article. I was glad to see that their sea dragons survived. They had an unbelievable Hippocampidae (sea horse family) collection, including both species of dragons. Some reefer friends and an unbelievable LFS (Coral Connection) in NO were getting ready to start a project to help them with their reef tanks when we left. The reef tanks were the biggest disappointment I had at the Aquarium and needed some help from some serious reefers.

The LFS I mentioned started off as a frag farm in the owner's back yard and had a frag room with as many gallons as some LFS. I couldn't leave there without a frag. They had a 800 gal. show tank that I would sometimes sit in front of for an hour. It had some huge bubble tip anemones that were over a foot across as well as some tangs that could have only been kept in a tank that size.
