I arrived there at Hanauma Bay at 730am which was when the photos were taken. Family and I had a WONDERFUL time and it feels soooooo cold back here. This is probably one place i would have no problems moving to live for 5-6 months of the year when I retire but that would mean I will have to give up on this hobby one day......
Tony bringing fish back was no problem at all. NO SPECIAL PERMITS is required for tropical fish and animals that is not listed on CITES. The importation of tropical fish and animals is regulated by Department of Fisheries and Oceans. http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/science/aqu...namental_e.htm The only document I needed was the genus and species of the fish and bring a Marine Fish book with you for them to make comparisons if they wish to because not too many Customs Officers are knowledgeable in this area. The spikes on the Nasos were so pronounced I was scared to get too close to them. The fish was about 14-16" long and their spikes look like they could have done a lot of damage if it wanted to. My 6" blonde naso has nothing like those yet.

Oh and just to clarify, I only have one achilles in my tank upstairs and one in my sump. I also kept the goldflake, flame and mystery wrasse. The rest of the fish have gone to locals.

That pair of Achilles swimming around probably made you want to catch them yourself, eh, Chin
 Thanks for the Achilles & Potters.

Chin, do they still have that flushing hole in cliffs not far from where you took the beach shot ? When the wave came in the hole would fill and go down when the wave retreated. Used to be able to sit in it (3-5 people), but seem to remember it was about a 15 ' plunge.
