Does anyone know how large of a fish a full grow miniatus grouper will eat? I'm assuming bangaii cardinals would vanish rapidly, but what about anthias or the pygmy angelfish?

I had a medium(ish) one once that gobbled up a 2 inch snapper. I swear those guys can unhinge their jaws and swallow food.

Alright then definitely not for this tank! I don't think I could easily capture my anthias without doing a 95% water change.
