This fish is currently pending to CBURTO.
CBURTO pls text me back so we can make arrangements to ship once he is caught.

[To others who have kicked the tires I have since warmed up to the idea of shipping]. I have this buyer in hand currently but... in the event it falls through, just making ALL interested parties aware that shipping would now possibly be an option.

 

[Zoaologist]

I’d be interested in him if he becomes available

How did you get him directly from HI

To answer a few inquiries received about how he was obtained from Hawaii......There was a seller/sponsor years back on another reefing website/forum who used to ship out directly from HI. It was purchased from him and shipped directly to me. (approx 5yrs ago)
