The tank itself would be covered, (if damaged), however, the exotic fish are specifically excluded. If the fish were being raised to eat, then they become food items. Thats going a little far out, but, I don't see any way to cover them.

I'm not sure there is enough information here to give a succinct answer. I'm not familiar with the Texas windstorm policy.  I'm also not sure what a "reef tank" is, but I can sort of put two and two together based on the previous comments. Not sure if this is homeowners or commercial. Check for inland marine (IM) forms, some of which will provide coverage for animals, if animals are what you are covering. If this is a commercial policy and the fish and coral are "stock", they would have coverage under the commercial policy as "stock" even though they are animals. If the damage is to the equipment, an equipment breakdown form may offer coverage under certain circumstances. However, since youstated that the cause of loss is hurricane, it is unlikely that it will qualify as an "accident under an equipment breakdown form. Again, if this is a commercial policy, the property enhancement endorsement or similar form should be checked for coverage. This may provide coverage for power interruption that is broader than the basic commercial forms.

There are three things you need to do.  First, when in doubt, read the policy to find the answer.  Second, when you think you know whether there is coverage, read the policy to see if you are right.  And third, when you are sure you know whether there is coverage, read the policy just in case.

Thank you for the responses.  I do not see anyway of covering the loss of the fish but will try to get coverage for the tank, equipment and "decorative coral."  If you have any further ideas, please let me know, otherwise I will keep you posted.
