Awesome list!

I keep looking at Rhinopias and then worry that it would eat other tank mates. Just how big are their mouths?

Not overly large but they will get to about 8" or so, they usually come in about 6", maybe barely under. You see the way the scorps stretch their mouths, imagine that at 8" or more, mine is a very aggressive eater. My little waspfishes would be a little snack. I would say to be safe a fish needs to be a solid broad 3" to be safer 3.5".

That's awesome!!. Question. So if u get stung.... do u have to keep something on hand to counteract it? Or are u screwed? Call hospital and hope they keep the anti.venom? It's a serious question. Im very interested in the after accident plan? Thanks. They're beautiful.

I don’t think any of the species I have would require antivenom/emergency care (the sea goblin was a different story but that died unfortunately).

That being said I have no plans to prove that so I’m just really really really careful when working in the tank.
