Actually, if you look close, there is a small piece of silverside laying on the bottom in one of the pics. He ate all the other pieces, and it was a BIG silverside. He seems really healthy.

He is only about 3" so I'm really concerned about putting him into the predator tank. The triggers are about 5" and the snowflake is about 14". Obviously, the 55 isn't connected to the large water volume so I guess we'll just be changing 10% of the water every four days or so.

We did add around 90 lbs of LR to the predator tank last night so he would have a ton of hiding places. I'm really concerned about being able to get food to him though. It's tough to get food past the triggers and eels. Even Ghost comes out and chases others around in order to get food. He is a brave little eel.

hmmmmm, come to think of it, Ghost IS a fairly small eel and everyone leaves him alone, so maybe the grouper will be fine in the predator tank. I really don't want to put him in the reef tank, although with his colors, he sure would add to the beauty of it. At least for a while. I wouldn't look forward to catching him at some point though.
