I really like that longnoose they have, but he is gonna be just a little to big for my set up... Anyone know how well those other butterflys are with aiptasia, and how hardy they are? I know copperband hold the aiptasia title, but I heard almost all butterflys will eat em.

These guys have really nice fish. Back in January, I obtained a flame wrasse trio and some bartletts from them. The flame wrasses were incredible. The only negative was their packaging. My fish arrived half frozen. Fortunately, all turned out well. You shouldn't have such a problem this time of year. Good luck.

lazylivin · « **Reply #15 on:** May 27, 2011, 00:26:42 »

Are you adding this to rid of those aiptasia?

Yeah, I figured it's worth a shot... I have read they are alot hardier than the CBB, and are easier to feed once the Aiptasia are gone, they seem to get along with corals so long as you don't have any sps(which I don't atm). And when I went and picked up that tank yesterday from Reefchik she was very knowledgeable with them and was adamant I tried one.

Plus even if he doesn't, he's less than $30 with shipping so I figured it's worth a shot just to see how he does.

Update on my achillies. He is doing AWESOME! He and my yellow tang actually swim together a lot. They will actually eat from the same nori sheet at the same time! He is a beautiful fish, I couldn't be happier with him! Thanks again Brian!

The clowns on the other hand...One is still in an over flow. Tried everything and he is still in there. The other one, apparently got sucked into the sump. I've looked but can't find him. We've had this happen before and had to tear all the equiptment out of the sump to get to the fish. Hopefully I will find him soon.

Reefpete · « **Reply #44 on:** June 06, 2011, 07:46:03 »

Really great to hear the the achillies is doing so well, and that the two have become "friends". Look foward to seeing that some day soon.

And the clowns...I'm really sorry that you may have some more ahead of you if the M.I.A clown isn't found. Best of luck to you in your searching.

lazylivin · « **Reply #45 on:** June 06, 2011, 21:19:09 »

That is really great news Micki. Glad the achillies has been accepted and is doing well. Mine is doing well to. It is still in the little 35g cube with the clowns but seems to have acclimated well. I am feeding it Nori everyday and it eats some flakes that I give the clowns as well.

They have to be harvesting these directly... I dont see an about us tab on their site to see exactly how they are getting these fish and letting em go for such a monster deal.

I have been scoping them out every now and then, and though their prices do fluctuate(which is why I even brought up where they are getting their fish from) they seem to average some form of a great deal... and though some sites may be comparable on certain species, they still are ALOT better than I have seen from a majority of others.

lazylivin · « **Reply #56 on:** August 12, 2011, 00:23:56 »

The owner/diver catches the Hawaii fish himself. In fact he is going out tomorrow where he will hopefully catch my special order but there is no guarantee he will get it. Not sure about the other non native species, maybe through a US wholesaler or transship

Those damsels are sweet looking Cody. I would wan't three if they didn't get so mean. Never seen anything like it before. Can't even find any in google image search.

I thought i was missing something, thats why i asked. Those damsels are really cool. 50 for shipping, hmm, guess thats not too bad for the price he is selling his fish for. Though the one fish i really liked on his site were the Chevron Tangs

Boonjob · « **Reply #58 on:** August 12, 2011, 08:16:12 »

That skunk bandit angel fish is awesome looking, But not 999.00 awesome ROFL

Looks like he had a good haul today/yesterday from the pics... And that is good to know Brian, I figured he was harvesting them himself from Hawaii but I was not sure if he was finding all the fish he has himself as some arent hawaiin breeds, Well keep us posted on your order I am interested to see what you have "special" requested
