I would also like to add my support for this suggestion.

me too and also can you add a common name to scientific name for the fish. It is very confusing. I mean who will use a scientific name when you go to a fish store. Just a thought.

i was thinking the same thing the other day too. although it may be easy enough to do the research on our own for a specific fish, i would like to see some facts about the fish as well. i know i saw a few tangs in the divers den and thought about getting one... but then hesitated because i did not know anything about it, or see any info about it next to the pic.

Im dont think it would be too much trouble to do this, but his is my only comment otherwise. This information is easily found in the fish section of liveaquaria's website. The Divers Den is more like the "cream of the crop". Usually, these fish are priced higher, and are occasionally more rare. As such, they would appeal to a more seasoned hobbyist, who would likely be looking for things in particular. I know, I know, there are people out there who can give experience to contradict this statment. But I think my principle is sound. If you are not sure whether a fish is reef safe or not (and that topic is rather comical and debatable), perhaps more research should be done before purchasing. Look on the other parts of the webiste, other sites, books, etc.

I also kinda thought Diver's Den isn't a impulse buy area, more of a looking for a certain fish that you've wanted forever. It's supposed to be rare, top of the line, it would be a shame for people to buy something they have never heard of before on a whim and kill it after all the care LiveAquaria went though with that fish.

Yep count me in too 
most of your fish selection is easily googled but there are a few that i cant find any info or care on in captivity, and this happend to me the other night when i saw a different fish that i thought was cute.
i googled to see its care and nada, theres nothing on this fish anywhere.
so i figure he must be difficult or just not commonly kept.
the fish is Caracanthus madagascariensis (Venomous Tongan velvet fish)
i imagine its not reef safe, which is ok since i have a non reef aggressive setup.
how big does this fish get? diet? aggressive level? is it similiar to a frogfish?
sorry for all the questions, but ive been going crazy trying to find info on this fishy

Beemo,
Thank you for your post about the Caracanthus madagascariensis. This fish will attain a two-inch size. It will eat crustaceans and mysis in captivity and is passive, but also territorial. It is not similar to a frogfish and you may want to use caution if adding one to a reef tank.
We hope you find this information helpful.
