So much for being venomous. See this barracuda !!

I couldn't get over the idiot putting his camera in the cuda's face at the 30 second mark. He's lucky that he still has both hands.

Ive come close up with a barracuda in Florida 2 years ago. They are very curious and in fact nosy and it made me nervous until i realized it had zero interest in us who were diving. he got this close

Man thats close but it only takes one second and one bite! When i swim close to them i try to stay away from the business end.

Is it reef safe??

Is it reef safe??

Absolutely not and especially getting to an easy 5-6 feet and more

So will a 20 gallon AIO work?

This is crazy to see what a barracuda does to a lionfish :

Wow... its like the Barracuda knew the diver was going to spear something and was waiting.

I recently saw this behavior discussed on Shark Week.

They noted a pattern of sharks lying in wait while big game fisherman hook large fish, such as tuna. Once hooked, the shark comes in for an easy meal.

Like our fish in our tanks they learn free meals. The unfortunate incident on the pirate ship in the bahamas where the kid jumped in and immediatly got hit by a shark was believed to be because sharks follow boats now expecting free meals. So many charter boats reeling in ish. I know i have lost many out there when i have gone deep see fishing. Amazingly they hit right behind the head most of the time and leave the mouth with the hook in it. Cant believe sharks are getting that smart.

Reminds me of snorkeling with barracuda in Cozumel. They’ll just swim right along with you acting as part of the group.
