I found this youtube video to be cool. I am not sure if you let us post fish related videos you find on youtube here (if you don't I am sorry), but the grouper eating the shark is cool and I wanted to show it to people who appreciate fish.

That was really cool. Sot of unrelated to the forum, but awsome none-the-less.

It's not umrelated at all, the goliath grouper Epinephelus itajara and what looks like a young lemon shark Negaprion brevirostis are both North American natives with really large distributions.

A pitty I cannot find the clip from Extreme Contact (a show that used to be on animal planet) where the guy diving tried toughing a goliath groups and had his arm swallowed and had to struggle to the surface with a 400 pound fish on his arm, that was impressive.

I'd like to see someone with a saltwater tank big enough to house a fully grown goliath.

I don't know my salt water fish very well but I think these are two different species of large grouper.

smbass,
The first photo looks like a potato cod, Epinephelus tukula, they are a southwestern Pacific species, GBR and the Coral Sea. The other photos look like goliaths, E. itajara, to me.
