And all I was trying to say was that I wasn't talking about 'emotion or politics'. Except if what you were trying to say is that the Hawaii ban was about politics and emotion? But I don't think I'm getting your point? The title of the Thread is 'What happened to the price of yellow tangs?' My answer is/was the ban from Hawaii. (and of course shipping costs)Either you are missing the point or I'm not replying properly to articulate it. When I say remove emotion or politics it is because I don't care about them. I don't care how or why the ban was in place because I have no say nor can I change it. Does that make sense? It isn't saying your opinion doesn't matter.
We can still buy corals, fish, and have displays. The sky didn't fall nor did the hobby die.
