So sad....
Haven't had this guy very long but after a long talk last night with my fiance, we have realized that we will not be moving anytime soon and therefore are not going to be able to set up my 240G tank for a few years. So it has been an extremely hard decision (I bought the big tank just for him) but I think I need to find a new home for him. I would be able to keep him in my current tank for about a year most likely but I get way too attached to my fish and would never want to see him go! I think its best for him to go now :cry:
He is a 7-8" Variola albimarginata or White Edged Lyretail Grouper. Reaching about 2' in the ocean but more likely to stay around 20" in aquariums. Very mild mannered fish but will eat anything he can fit in his mouth! So basically anything under about 3". Very peaceful but is an aggressive eater and eats lots, so a big aggressive tank would be best.
FREE to a good tank at least 180G and please let me know what tankmates he would be with. Bigger than 180G would be better. I do have ich in my tank, so I will be QTing him for you before I let him go unless you want to do it but he needs to be QT'd. He has NOT shown any signs of ich but certainly has been in contact with it and I don't want him to introduce it to your tank.

PM me for more info or if your interested. I would not refuse a frag in return for him :) But I am more interested in finding him a good home. If I can't find one then I may have to just move into a house after all!
Oh and no way hes being shipped. Just way too big and Im not putting him through that stress.
