Now I just have to find where to get one! The sad thing is I could have brought home a few. As we were walking we found some juv. that were trapped in tide pools and yes I helped them back to the water.

I've only ever seen these once here at Big Al's in Calgary. They are yellow when juv. and are very cool fish.

Good luck in finding one.. I hear they get massive.

They get to be huge. HUGE. Think dinner plate swimming around in your tank ... beautiful fish, but bear eventual size in mind..

I have one in my 180g, he's around 3.5" and still is his juvy yellow.
