Some of you may be familiar with Bob Witner, (Snorkel Bob). Some quick background, Bob is a diving/snorkel operator in Hawaii and Sea Shepherd's vice president. He hates aquariums and blames the hobby for decimating reef populations around Hawaii. Even though there is evidence, largely handed over by Charles Delbeek of the Waikiki Aquarium, that stand in contrast to that belief, Mr. Witner soldiers on. He and I locked horns on Facebook, when he claimed that an Ornate Wrasse was impossible to keep. I told him that I had kept several over the years, successfully. He got back with some comment to the effect, that I should get fin rot. I wondered if anyone else has read his material on the aquarium hobby, or had any personal experience with him.

Here is one of his exposes
