Thought this group would be interested in seeing this guy.

They keep him in a tank that's pretty dark so I fired the flash at him and caught a pretty good shot.

OMG! I was just at the Shedd last week and I didn't notice that guy. What a bummer :mad2: Where was this tank? In the regional area or down in the Wild Reef?

In the regional area...small tank...probably a 30 gallon or so...
