Hawaiian Whitespotted Toby Puffer - are they effectively extinct to mainland hobbyists?

I haven't seen one in stock anywhere in a while. Are these pretty much unavailable to mainlanders now since the Hawaii ban?

Bump

If one pops up, it wont be cheap. Haven't seen one since the ban came into place.

Looks like theyre impossible to get now and are not aquacultured… I heard the Hawaii ban may be lifted though

 

[Goaway]

Hopefully so. I don't understand it. But, it's their culture.

 

[Trunalimunumapruzre]

Figured I’d bump this to see if anyone else has thoughts on it

 

[Trunalimunumapruzre]

Anyone seen one?
