On the flip side, our food is better

Hawaii is also not 3rd world. Therefore everything costs more.


Like Aussie corals.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

The blue tang in question is more than likely from the Christmas Islands. Many of the exporters in Hawaii also import and wholesale product from many areas of the South Pacific. These areas are then included with shipments that are from Hawaii.

As for pricing, well, that's the discretion of the LFS.
