Thanks for the info I live in Miami and believe I saw a yellow tang was moving fast so not 100% sure so maybe true

Wow! That's just nuts.

now it needs a companion to start a family and may follow the fellow brother lionfish to take over the 'land'...

I am surprised someone hasnt collected him yet.

 

[Fleabage]

Wow! What a great find!

 

[Fleabage]

apparently, there are people in Boca, up thru Broward, letting their Aquarium fish loose into the Ocean, when they no longer want their Aquarium.... instead of re homing them.....idiots...lol
Amazing, that they are thriving!

Well, at least they aren't gobble-everything-and-sting-you critters.

Looking at that Emp in the video. It looks like it has been living in those waters for years. I mean look how big it is. I bet it was small when released..

 

[gobolts23]

It could be. Hope I dont see it this summer. Would be very tempted to collect it

 

[Sugar Magnolia]

Wow!

Could be, but it could have also been released when it grew too big for the aquarium it was in...

I just think it is stupid for people to just release their fish if they can't or don't want to keep them anymore.

I'd go spearfishing for that bad boy. Lots of meat on him..

Those fish are really beautiful. When I went scuba diving in Bali I saw quite a few of them. But before that I had never seen any emperor angels and I have been to the Caymon islands, Belize, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Hawaii. You sure are lucky!
