I believe most of the LFS have them on quite a regular basis...

If they don't have them, you can request that they get some...maybe they can accomodate ya... ;)

I have 6 of them in my reef and if I could ever figure a way to catch a couple I would be more than happy to give you one. Anyone have any ideas on how to catch these darn things. I am about ready to use Vince's BB Gun routine :lol:

I dont wanto to be the reason why you shoot a hole in the bottom of your tank because you didn't sight the BB Gun in before going into battle. Not to mention the pain you will feel from the wife if she commes home to the wet carpet. THe "It wasn't me" act only works for so long.

That was just an inside joke. I heard a story of Vince shooting something in his tank with a BB Gun because it was eating coral or something. Thought it was funny as heck. Thank goodness I don't have a wife either because she would have ran off when she saw the bills for this addiction :uzi: .

On a serious note though, if anyone has any ideas on how to catch the little buggers, please reply here. I have 6 of them i bought to help with Bubble algae during the first 6 months of my tank setup (BTW I have never seen them eat any of it), at that time they were about the size of a quarter, now they are the size of a silver dollar (for those that are too young to know what that is, it measures about 1 1/2 inches across) and want to get them out of the display and into my sumps. That is why I said if I can catch one you are more than welcome to one or two of them.
