16” Tang and a whale

[ylreefer]

Hi all. Sorry if the title threw you a bit. But I wasn’t joking lol.

So went to Okinawa for a quick visit. Sneaked in a trip to the aquarium and boy was I in for a surprise. Pictures don’t exactly do it justice. But when I say these fish were big. I mean huge. Wrasses the size of a 2 year old and tangs 12-16” long. Some of the most beautiful fish I’ve seen and I’ve been reefing for about 35 years now. (Currently reefless )

Mushroom coral were about 15” in diameter although not so colorful, still impressive.

So I just had to share this with you all and here are a few pics I took. Hope you all enjoy.
