I would assume he is the store mascot :)

A LFS here also keeps one as the store pet. He doesnt look as good though

That is correct. This is a show tank and he is not for sale. They did just feed him so he would be more interactive so I could get the shots.

Lovely specimen..Maidenhead Aquatics at Newbury used to have ( late 1990's) a good 2 ft mbu in a show tank.used to stop in there a couple of times a week just to see that fish..

NICE! I guess I would consider myself lucky because my girl is the one pushing a LARGE tank. My only problem is that I want coral again and Fat Boy loves eating it. Looks like the 110 will turn into a reef again and the big tank will go to him and some more aggressive fish.

Talk to pufferghoti about his/our reef tank..the only reason I'm happy to share it is due to my valenti puffer living there..I'm not interested in the corals and hermits and snails and shrimp not the firefish or yellowtang nor my flame angel..nor the anemones..nope..not at all...j/k!

I love watching how that tank changes in the long and short term..
