I think its weird he likes to post this picture once a year. Seems like Jeff likes to toot his own horn. Of course they are all gone now? dead? not sure but he doesn't have them does he?

The story I got was that they were never his. He just knew the woman who got them and the person that brought them in to the US.

Yup! It's the holy grail of tangs.

 

[salt newbie01]

Sweet fish - the holy grail is right! When I first pulled up the thread I couldn't get the pic to pull up. Must have been on my end. Glad I checked back - cool pic!

Someone explain the appeal to me. They don't seem particularly bright colored...maybe it's the pictures.

I was wondering the same thing....

 

[rocko918]

it's one of those rare fish, hard to collect. Not sure where they come from but they are not collected very often.

 

[143gadgets]

From what I understand. They only some from the coast of a very small island and there is only one guy who dives for them.

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

I know they are very rare, but how many sea snakes do you see in aquariums??

I mean I like them, but I can name 5 tangs I like better color wise.

 

[143gadgets]

It's not really about the color and stuff. It's just an awesome fish to have if our a rare fish collector.
