Thanks for the info. I have already researched Thailand's regulations and it should be a problem getting the fish into the country. I just wanted to see if I needed to get an export license and permit to get them out of the US. I will contact US Fish and Wildlife and see what they say.

I am in the process of moving to Thailand and I want to take a few of my rarer fish with me like my Platinum Clowns. Since I am exporting these fish for personal use do I need to obtain an export license? What other permits, licenses will I need to take them with me?

I wouldn't put any large angel in with an elegance. I have seen other larger angels tear them up so I don't see why a Conspic. wouldn't take a bite at some point.

I have a 5"er and it doesn't touch anything. I have SPS, some LPS like Chalices, Zoas, Paly's, Xenia, Anthelia. I wouldn't trust him with a clam though.

You will. My LFS is planning on getting more tomorrow. Looks like its that time of year again for the Latz influx. Are you familiar with Fish & Other Ichthy Stuff in Oldsmar, Fl near Tampa?

Darn. I was hoping I could get my LFS to pull some strings and get me one of these fish. :lol:

fish_dave, Do you work for Quality Marine or Dr. Foster and Smith?

Thanks for the back ground info Steve. I am imagine this racket has gone on for a while now. Don't the Phillipino divers know to not take the deal from the get go? Sounds similar to some of the rackets that American businesses use on Mexican immigrants.

Unfortunetly our hobby is not the only one at fault for putting 3rd world people's health and lives in danger in order to make a buck. With more and more companies going overseas in order to save money on labor and to dance around safety regulations this is just the tip of the iceberg. I am...

It's not an anemone. it is a Coralimorph. More closely related to Ricordea than anemones. They have been lableded as anemones by pretty much every vendor that has sold them but they are being misidentified. I had one that looked exactly like that. Be careful with these guys if you get one. They...

I would be shocked if any of the big online stores make them available including DFS. If they do expect to pay an arm and a leg.

Sedgro, I sent you a PM with info on where to get one.
