Parrotfish

[Joe-ness]

I've heard a rumor that the LFS put a parrot into their 1200g reef a while back. i didn't see it in there, and they took it out befor i heard about it. Apparently the owner didnt care. (Shrug) So, Out of curiosity, Parrotfish, whoever has got 'em...

What Species?
what size tank are they in?
for how long?
and how much live rock has it gone through in your time together?

Pics would be awesome if you can!

Thanks,
Joe

Here's a link to a former TOTM with a Parrotfish:

Such a rad fish. My favorite fish to see when im in hawaii.

I thought they were uber destructive?

they don't normally do well in tanks. they need lots of room and grind down corals into sand. most tanks can't meet most species needs.
