Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse

Anyone here have one? Just got back from hawaii... quite beatiful lil buggers... I know they're a strict no-no in aquarium trade.. but was just wondering if anyone out there actually had one? It was amazing walking out on the jetty at Waikiki beach seeing a pair of Moorish Idols right up against the rocks eating the algae... I mean feet away from swimmers... along with yellow tangs, and tons of humu humu triggers.. what a site.. and even from a place that's not a snorkeling sanction...

had one before, and I didn't like it. Nice colors, but mine was very timid. I gave him away on a trade. I bought mine from Big Als of all places. It was $60, but I talked them down to $15 as I convinced them that it was a regular cleaner wrasse. This was just over 1 year ago

Wow, talked them down to $15! Wowwwww... did it ever eat or feed off of your fish or just make ammends with dry food?

It didn't eat for the first 5 or 6 days, then I guess it got desperate and ate flake food. I was worried for a little while
