you are better off, without the proper care and nutrition they don't fare well in captivity. It takes expert care to even think about such a venture.

Ditto. I'm almost positive that it's illegal. Report it!

I'm not 100% on the tank raised ones but last I checked the wild ones were controlled. You need to be a public aquarium/research facility to even get them. They have been bred successfully more and more, so I have no idea about the legality of the offspring. Charles Delbeek spoke at MACNA 3 yrs ago in Houston about how they had bred them a few times at the Waikiki aquarium and I'm pretty sure they had given some of the offspring to other facilities. I don't know that I would just go off and report them without verifying the laws surrounding them to be sure.

They are fascinating creatures. My daughter was so fascinated by them at Sea World when we were in orlando.
