Where did you take the picture or where did you get him? At one time I was interested in this fish but gave up because I didn't think they were available in the hobby. I would be interested to know if there is a website they can be ordered from.

Yes Aj is correct. I got him from a friend of mine that owns a lfs. I think the vendor was Sea Dwelling Creatures. I thought he was unusual as well. He was pretty big when I first got him but now he is fat happy and more colorful. Not a bit of sand in that vat and he dosnt seem to mind:D
