Joseph Caparatta's article in Wall Street Journal

The reporter Candace Taylor form the WSJ sought out Joseph Caparatta, owner of UniqueCorals and Manhattan Aquariums, to interview him about the ins and outs of owning a shark, as Shark Week was soon upon us.

Joe was happy to help out.  He gave his expert advise and opinions over several interviews.  Although the article steers the average person away from shark ownership, for the record, Joe thinks they make great pets! Haha.  As it is with all marine animals in the home, the owner needs to be knowledgable and diligent for the animals to thrive.

Joe has been in Newsday, New York Post, New York Times, and worked with The Today Show, the Ricki Lake Show, Sea World, Martha Stewart Living, Law and Order SVU, Microsoft, Miss Universe (the production), Blue Man Group, Wells Fargo, JetBlue, the Food Network, Dennis Publishing (of Maxim Magazine), Bloomberg, Century 21, Sony Music, James Gandolfini, Ripley's Believe It Or Not, Tracey Morgan, Ice T, Chevy Chase, Mariah Carey, Tina Fey, Calvin Klein, Maxwell, Bass Pro Shops,Nordstrom's, NYU,and many other commercial entities, art and entertainment shows, and famous clients who wish to remain private.

Now we add the WSJ to the list.
