There is a breeding population of this Pacific Ocean fish in the Atlantic Ocean as far north as North Carolina.
Even if it is a fish native to where you live if it has been in an aquarium with non-native fish, rocks, corals, inverts, etc you could also introduce a parasite or bacteria from another part of the world into your ocean and wipe out populations of native fish that would have no defense against it. If you remember your history this happened to Native Americans in both North & South America. When European explorers arrived they introduced diseases that the Native Americans had no immunity to. Entire communities were wiped out by a disease that may have not killed the Europeans. |
