Some so-called "experts" would strongly disagree with us on certain species weve named in our list. There are always going to be exceptions to any rule. Some hobbyists may be willing to slave over their sensitive specimens. Others may be willing to set up special habitats for certain species, such as Seahorses.

Porcupine Puffer, anyone?
I just wanted to know if anyone has a porcupine puffer in their Fish only tank (Knowing they cant be kept in reef tanks)?
