Nice shots thats pretty close to that Titan Trigger I saw one of those diving in Cebu it was eying us over good.
Not a fish I would feel comfortable getting too close too. Better off playing with sharks.

Probably of big interest to everyone on this site, I went to a wholesaler that sold to the public 3 days a week in Cairns. They said no pics, but the manager came out and told me I could take pictures as i was so excited I probably looked like a 3 year old in Toys R Us. It was like going to 20 fish stores at once. haha. They had sharks, huge Napoleon wrasses, and Id guess over 200 lambouti and lineatus wrasses. The only price a worker would give me was a full grown Scribbled Angel was $180. They said they couldnt sell to anyone without an Aussie accent and the shipping would be 10x the price of the fish or coral, even if you could ship it overseas. Here are a few pics.

As you can see they had lots of goniopora and elegance corals. Surprisingly they had hardly any SPS. The one pic was a tank full of of what they called coral sea fairy wrasses. Kevin should definetly look into getting in these fish as they were incredible. Like a hooded wrasse but with more yellow.
One thing I noticed as a diver was how many LPS they had, when you see very little on the reef. Maybe it was the sites I was diving, but I also noticed this in Indonesia. LPS seem to be a popular coral for aquariums compared to how much you see on a natural reef. I can understand this, as I love them myself. Also, Ive seen no zoas on any of the 6 dives in Australia or the 9 I did in Indonesia, and none in this wholesaler.
