I'll take a fish shaped blur (come on, look at the picture of my virgatus, it aint potm material
 ). I've put in word at all the major retailers, local and mail-order, to be on the lookout for one, and not one, not one in twelve months! I've seen several virgatus that were mis-ID'd but no bona-fide doliatus. At this point I just want to see some evidence that this fish really does exist and really does show up north of the 49th once in a while... Please post the pictures!

Sorry, your SOL. I've gone through all of my photos from the 230g, and I don't have anything that I can post. My "blur" photo is horrid, so bad you can't even tell what kind of fish it is.

Those are actually Siganus puellus.
(Also called the blue-lined rabbitfish..) Nice fish!!! Mind you I like just about all the yellow/blue rabbits, very nice fish.

I have a Virgatus but last time I was at J&L (in the Spring) they had a Doliatus which they referred to as a Scribbled Rabbitfish (pretty sure this is the same fish you are referring to). I wanted to buy it but they wouldn't sell it since it was in one of the coral tanks making it too hard to catch. You might want to try J&L as they also list the Doliatus on their web site.

They are one of the places I have a standing request in. There hasn't been a doliatus, however, since at least August 2006 (I check the site every day
 ). I'm not 100% convinced that the doliatus back then was really doliatus as many sites do mistake virgatus for doliatus. This week they listed doliatus but I when I saw the pictures I knew they were virgatus. I told them of it and they corrected the page.Not that there's anything wrong with virgatus, like I said, I have one. I just don't need 2 of the same. So .. uh .. does anyone actually have pictures of a doliatus?
