Hawaiian Tiger Reef Eel (bought before the ban, approx 3’) and geometric moray eel (approx 2’)! Sorry for the stock photos, not very photogenic. Been living together no problem for 2+ years, eating 2x/week from tongs. Also living with fish & coral for over a year. No problems. Pickup in...

Hawaiian Chevron Tang about 7 years old, 6-7 inches, eats amazing and always out. Would much rather sell locally in California but I would consider shipping. Was originally a rescue but been healthy in my care for awhile, extremely rare fish, price reflects condition.

Hey Reefers! I am looking to add 3 tangs to my tank all at once to hopefully cut down on the aggression that typically comes with adding tangs individually. One of the tangs I plan to add is a Biota yellow tang which typically arrive very young and small. I would like to make sure the two other...

How rare are white tangs? Video from a snorkel off west coast of big island Hawaii yesterday, filmed just as I was getting out in the shallows - completely white ‘yellow’ tang with slight yellow tinge to fins, swimming alongside its true yellow family!

Hi here’s a video of the fish you’ll experience snorkeling in Hanauma Bay, HI.

Here are some links to my YouTube videos about Maui Hawaii I’m here currently and just wanted to share it’s beauty :) https://youtube.com/shorts/2HnRSKvSP1w?feature=share https://youtube.com/shorts/lqnoiYAMzX4?feature=share https://youtube.com/shorts/EqlrgFROB9Y?feature=share

All kinds of fun stuff happening here! Looks dull and boring from far but I've been enjoying using the magnifying glass to find all the tiny critters. We started out by accidentally bringing home a Cone Shell Hermit crab inside this Auger shell, threw him in a bucket of water with a nice algae...

Anyone out there know what corals were brought in prior to the Hawaiian ban? Someone out there has to still have Hawaiian corals in their tanks that are being aquacultured, right? Are there corals that were originally Hawaiian but are now being called *insert fancy name*? It is almost impossible...

My tank is stable and I will begin to SLOWLY repopulate the tank. I am working towards keeping and maintaining a Hawaiian ridgeline/insular Pacific/Indo Pacific shallowish reef ECOSYSTEM. (The dream every one wants to live, I know.) Inverts, micro flora/fauna/bacteria, and macro algae is first...

I have a 75 gallon FOWLR tank. I live in Hawaii so our laws are strict about pretty much everything about having a marine aquarium. So I won't ever be able to have anything but live rock. Do I need powerheads in my fowlr tank? I have a HOB filter and a canister filter both have strong output...

My first large marine tank. Had many smaller through the years, mostly tidepool tanks from collecting living in hawaii. Had a few bumps in the road, but im proud of this tank. I enjoy it, and its a big stress relief at the end of our bed. Friends in the tank: 1 neon dottyback 1 yellow tang 1...

Hello, I'm doing a sps dominated 30 breeder and right now I only have one clown fish in it and I was hoping I could get some suggestions what I could put in it. I was think maybe some gobbies but I wasn't sure if I could maybe do two different gobbies with two pistol shrimp. Also if anyone knows...

Hey everyone, so here’s the thing, I live in Hawaii and was snorkeling for some zoas/plays to add to my tank. And I stumbled upon an interesting looking paly. Been trying to get an ID on it for almost a year now. Hopefully you guys can help. TIA!

The Name Schizoproida Why is this crab seemingly based on the mental disorder schizophrenia? I don't know much about schizophrenia, but it may have to do with the crab's habit of ripping off pieces of seaweed and sponges for decorations. They seem to have a compulsion to decorate themselves...

Hi everyone, Some of you may have seen on the disease thread but I recently had to chase all my fish out of my 90g and treat for ick. I believe it hitchhiked in on an anemone, which stinks because I would’ve had no way to quarantine that. But, there is a silver lining. I now have an...

Hello I am trying to put a list of fish together for a new build and I'd really like to stock it with fish only found around the Hawaiian islands. If you could give me some ideas that would be great. Also its for a 75 gallon and I'm sure ill be upgrading that as well at some point.

My nephew is seeing his sister off to college on the big island. Considering the state's bans on marine flora and fauna collecting what's left? I'd ask him to look into Angels that don't get larger than 4-5", corals that don't sting, or inverts that would be too good to pass up if he came...

I will be on the big island later this month and am wondering if there are any corals shops in Hawaii or if they have been banned with fish collection?

Video of a "ghost" white yellow tang shot in the wild. Starts with a review of many tangs seen in Hawaii. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtiaiesuKrYlwg6aJWeiR0g/videos

Alright, time for a new build! It's a great feeling being able to start a build with high hopes and expectations. Especially when you've learned so much from previous successes and fails. This will be my fourth build, however it will be the one that truly succeeds! My previous builds were each...
