Firstly, have you watched the movie? The problem isn't a subsistence fisherman finning a few sharks. The problem are organized poachers long lining and catching huge numbers of sharks, often in protected waters such as those around the Galapagos Islands. This also kills a bunch of other aquatic wildlife that is just tossed back into the ocean. I think once you watch the scenes with millions of fins drying on warehouse rooftops you may change your tune. And all for what? For a bunch or rich folks who think some tasteless soup is a delicacy. These poachers are making craploads of money killing millions of sharks. I guarantee you they are making far more money than most of us. They certainly seem to have enough money to bribe government officials around the world to look the other way or to go after the filmakers. Perhaps you should inform yourself about the real situation before you make statements borne out of ignorance and based on your own opinion instead of the facts.
Secondly, I don't think we are being hypocritical. Many of us keep reef tanks because of our interest in the ocean and the environment. Our goal is not to kill a bunch of fish for dubious reasons but to have a thriving tank with healthy livestock. It is also a great educational experience for my kids. My 4 year old knows more about fish and corals than many adults. Many of us would prefer captive bred fish if we can get them too but that is not always possible. I would also always take captive grown corals over those collected in the ocean if possible. Frag swaps and auctions are a great way to stock your tank without impacting wild corals.
Finally, let's not get into an argument about who is the apex predator. Humans do not really fit into those definitions because of our sentience and our ability to use tools and technology to affect the world around us in ways no non-human predator could or would. Animals kill to eat and there is usually a good balance between predator and prey. Humans often kill for other reasons and we can and do affect the natural balances. Finning millions of sharks for a luxury item such as shark fin soup is not a normal predator/prey relationship.
