Oh… wow I follow like 4 pages on instagram in Hawaii with eels! I didnt know they were not allowed

Could you send the instagram users? I wanna see what they have

It may be a way to minimize the risk of a non-native species getting in to the environment. I know there are eels in the Hawaiian waters but not sure which ones.

There are a few like Green Morey, Snowflake, Hawaiian Congor Eel, and a lot more. Eels are protected so it may have something to do with that, like risks of disease or something.

Yeah if they are protected there is that too. They have no idea where that snowflake came from. They probably just assume you took it from the wild or whoever you bought it from did.

Thank you! Yes that is ORA Red Planet

Report the guy with the 10g cube to the Hawaii DLNR and get the eels taken from him lol

About ten months in. Proud of the progress, but wow seeing some of these tanks is humbling. Bravo to the tank with the giant colonies.

Craziest tentacle extension I have ever seen on an Elegance Coral!!!

Eels are a no go, shops can only sell fish for the saltwater side. You can however collect for your personal aquarium but there are limitations on the species, etc. as well that I can't recall off the top of my head.

The shop is on Oahu but only does freshwater for now. I think they have plans on expanding to saltwater soon since I've talked to them about selling some of my baby clownfish. Here's a link to their (hilariously named) shop: https://mastahbetta.com/

I'm about to add some Acros in the middle of the reef now that I have the new Meridians pumping out serious light. New Pic with my wife's Google Pixel phone!
