WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, that was awsome! I have one (it eats anything that is willing to touch it) So buyer beware! If I had to do it over again, I dont think I would get it, it has made snacks out of to many fish. It is beautiful though!!!

Basically the same thoughts I had Doug. Horge, did you see them in the wild? If so you are one lucky man.

Yes, Troy, in the wild.
Both were S. haddoni
One was a deeper, luminous blue and about 24 cm across, back in '89. The other one was fiery red and hard to measure (in '95). Both were in a little over 2m of backreef water
Neither was there when I tried to find them in '99. Ditto a lot of the coral.

Now that is really tragic. In spite of their beauty somethings are better left in the wild as breeding stock. Please, Please,Please,
support ethical, responsible reefkeeping. Be realistic when considering adopting reef animals and propigate whatever you can.

Nicely said Doug.
Horge, what was/were the reason(s) that the reef inhabitants were gone?

Hard to say for sure, Troy.
Certainly there was more stress on the area due to polluiton, but I'm guessing they were 'collected' for the trade.
