It was a beautiful fish, so maybe we need both a video and pictures to feel better!

I have to clean the tank before I film anymore. Any algae at all ruins the shots.

What kind of snails do you all like best and where did you get them?

I like nerite and nassarius snails. Only ones I can keep alive. Pyramid snails are a pain, just thankful they don't like clam in my case. They tore up the turbos I had for a year. I also have a conch that is cool to watch and gets pretty deep in the sandbed.
I order bulk snails off reefcleaners. They mass you snails. For the conch, he was me pushing into free shipping on a saltwater fish.com order.

I like my mexican turbo snails. Yes they are rather large but they keep my rocks super clean. Like little bulldozers they are.

I don't use any snails at all, and my rocks are also super clean. Do you think it's all from the snails?

I think they can help. Besides, it's pretty hard to get into trouble with snails. Proper flow is what keeps the rocks clean of detritus (which snails don't eat anyway). I like them because they do eat some algae. And they're natural.

Some more UW photography. First shot is of a 500 pound Jewfish. Many shots were on night dives.

Great shots, thanks again for sharing! The colors on that Trumpet Fish are really beautiful.

You don't see many in aquariums, but they are cool.

Nice shots Greg. Too bad you had the opportunity to photograph that Pacific Lionfish in the Atlantic. That all happened after I got out of the biz.

No, that's a Hawaiian lion fish.

OK, You fooled me cause most of the other fish are all Atlantics (including, unfortunately, P. volitans.)
I'm thinking that Volitans have been released in Hawaii as well because the only endemic Lion that I know of is the P. sphex and that's more in the size and shape of the antennatas and radiatas not Volitans. I'm pretty sure the pic in your post is a black volitan Then again, as more areas of Hawaii were explored, they may have found natural Volitans. It's been a while since I've seen a Hawaiian stock list 
Either way, they really are nice pics
