Has anyone seen one in the Edmonton area?

I have looked for a Zoster for years, but have never seen one. For some reason nobody brings them in.:sad:

Looks pretty exotic to me and BIG. Grows to 7"! Have not seen anything like it locally.

It would look nice in Michael's tank, for sure :D

If you picked up a small one it could probably be kept in a smaller tank. Most fish never reach their ocean size in our tanks. At least I have not seen it happen.:biggrin:

Saw one at Big Al's about two weeks ago, wasn't looking so hot though. I believe the price was pretty up there though.

Very common and easy to get.

Sucks though b/c in my experience they are nearly impossible to get to eat.

Called a pyramid or triangle butterfly on the sheets from the phillipines and sri lanka

JL's had them in stock in the fall, they were about 3-4" and probably one of the very few reef safe butterflies. Probably seasonal though, you might have a tough time trying to find one now.

Maybe shoot them a mail and see whether they can get any in?

Yeah, I remember seeing a nice school of them at JL's in November. I called them yesterday but they unfortunately didn't have any :cry:

Oh well, I'll just have to wait until someone can order one in for me I guess.
