Beautiful when they're small.
Unfortunately, they get huge and ugly.

Oh sorry, I thought you did bring the little guy home!

I love these fish, but yeah, at some point he would have tried to eat your tank. Their mouths are the size of small Buicks

Right?? I think its how huge their fins are as a baby that makes them adorable! Then you see an adult and are like what the heck is that

Definitely one of the all-time cutest juvenile fish out there. And therein lies the danger.

Totally! Like a huge dog as a puppy, they look so cute, and then you have 140 pounds of fish trying to cuddle in the bed with you each night

Right! The guy who worked there had no clue what they turned into. I showed him and he was like oh what thats wild!

Oh man. I saw juvenile clown tangs at the LFS the other day, the most adorable tiny creatures. If only they didn't grow into such terrors.

 

[JumboShrimp]

I did love my Clown and Emperor, though. Raised them both from juveniles!
