Does anybody have any experience or know anything about this fish?

All that I have been able to find out is that it is fairly aggressive and gets huge. Is there any opinions out there if It would fit with these fish?

3 Regal Tangs
2 Purple Tangs
Sailfin Tang
Volitan Lion
Heniochus Butterfly
Fiji Rabbitfish
Harlequin Tusk
Miniatus Grouper
Red Emperor Snapper
Marooon Clown
4 Sharks

What size tank?

standard 55.....






























8' x 4' x 26" high 520 gallons. I'm actually asking about the fish compatability not if the tank is large enough.

My opinion is definitely no for the Lyretail, especially with the miniatus in a very small tank (520 gallons is quite small for these fish together) as well as your sharks being housed in such a small tank...you have about enough territory to house half of the population you listed.

and maybe the miniatus.

NOT the 4 sharks, red emperor snapper and a lyretail grouper

Well, sometimes the tank size does impact compatability.
