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.

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

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.

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

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