[notoriousreef]

::grabs popcorn:: cant wait!

[Recty]

Exciting :)

I'm thinking of what triggers get very large. I do hope Chris is right and it's a goldenback.

[jmccown]

OK - I'll start throwing out hints periodically

Hint #1 - It has teeth :)

[eyebedam]

Hint#2. It's lives in the Ocean

sorry I couldn't resist;)

[Recty]

Hint #3 - It has scales.

[rachenbrazil]

is it a trigger fish ?

[jmccown]

yes

[triggerfreak]

Has to either be a large goldenback trigger or a ocean trigger maybe.

[anbosu]

Could be a titan trigger.

[triggerfreak]

I am pretty sure he has a tital in there already.And one that big would be mean enought to kill everything in the tank.I don't think he would take that chance will all those beautiful fish in there.Might be a crosshatch trigger also.Could be a titan trigger.

[Recty]

How about for your next hint, tell us how big it is :)

[fish stalker]

mmmm colour?

[oliverbrisbo]

what do you mean by big 12inches 18inches ?????

[jmccown]

Next hint

It is not from hawaii.

[Nighthawk31]

Huma Huma!?

Crap, I miss read it. I thought you said it WAS from Hawaii.

[Cracken]

Soooo its tomarrow.

[jmccown]

yep, be here Friday.

I'lll make this statement - I have not seen one on RC as big.

[jmccown]

Definately not an ocean trigger, those things are ugly.

[triggerfreak]

Man your killing us.You better have pics tomorrow weather it is in the bag or whatever.

[kirkaz]

Is it a Flame Angel?

Damnit, I'm not very good at this:sad1:

[FishBoy05]

wow guess I should get in with you guys, i've got big aggresivess and love to get more ideas to tear more of my house apart

[Recty]

I'm putting my money on a Niger trigger

[jmccown]

Nope no one has guessed correctly yet

[ahumahuma]

Dude, I'm dying to know!! Maybe an Assasi?

[Reefdiver72]

I am waiting patiently for pictures. Hope it arrives safe in all this messed up weather.

[jmccown]

I just got a disturbing email from the shipper saying that fedex had dropped the box this morning and that it may be too damaged to continue. This really sucks. Maybe I jinxed the whole thing with this post. I'm waiting for a phone call right now but it isn't looking good. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[anbosu]

Blue line?

[LisaD]

good luck. I'm sure the winter storms aren't helping.

I'm gonna send u some Karma & hope for the best. Can you tell us yet what was supposed to come?

[Reefdiver72]

That sucks I have never had any problems with fed ex I guess accidents happen though hopefully they can find a lfs to save it where it happened or at least smart enough to think about taking it there.

[Baldwin]

Hope it's alright Jason, it feels good to be on the d/l I won't spoil the surprise for everyone ;)

It will be shame if that beautiful fish isn't alright, I am really looking forward to seeing this one.

[jmccown]

Keep it on the D/L baldwin, you and my good pal Dan North from Cali are the only two who know about this. I'm still hoping for a happy ending, still haven't heard anything.

[Recty]

I'll shoot Dan an email :)

[jmccown]

NOT GOOD GUYS. THE END TO THIS POST CAN BE FOUND HERE http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=16528256#post16528256

[Recty]

Well that sucks. I almost guessed clown trigger but figured you wouldnt take the risk with getting a big one.

[jmccown]

From bad news to good news, fish is safe and pics can be found here. It will be re-shipped to me next week from a fish store in TN. Turned out he is a member here on RC. Sweet!

[AngelsAnonymous]

Gorgeous fish. We need pics with something to compare its size with!

[Reefdiver72]

Now that is a awesome story I want to commend the guy who took time to go get him for you that is a Awesome gesture to save a fish and be a good friend to someone you have never met. He has earned lots of Karma today.

[jmccown]

The guy who rescued it for me is a member on RC, his screen name is Rendos. Props to Rendos. I talked to him on the phone this evening and he said the clown trigger is about 3 inches thick and extremely healthy looking.

[a.stebel]

Great ending to the story! I hope your clown trigger loves his new home. One of the most beautiful fish in the oceans.
