what does one do with fishes when they wish to get out of the hobby?
I don’t have a local shop that I want to deal with.

I have a
Hawaiian Yellow tang
Chocolate tang
Yellow eye kole tang
Powder brown tang
Pintail wrasse
Filefish
Golden damsel
Percula clownfish
Anemones
Some ricordea corals

They’ve all been quarantined and living with me for a few years. I’d like to see them go somewhere where they won’t end up dead in a couple weeks.

Sorry to hear your getting out of the reefing hobby, hope a nice forever home can be found for your pets in need. Nice fish on your list. but no space for me to take them.

Not sure why posting for sale isn't working - but - I would consider just selling/trading them to your LFS. You might get more money privately - but you're also not an expert fish packer/shipper and you may be responsible for deaths, etc.
