I'm from N.J. originally, and was the Senior Aquarist at Jenk's Aquarium(Point Pleasant beach) for years...we actually stocked our Caribbean fish exhibit with specimens collected directly in front of the building,..........Squirls,triggers,files,grunts,s nappers,Sargassum frogfish,chub,groupers,tangs,tons of spot fin butts,and the occasional four-eye,flame cardinals,short bigeyes,etc....and the list goes on,and on.
What i really miss is the coral...Astrangia danae(i heard they have changed the species name in the last few years)Northern stony coral...really cool!
