I have seen it at Big Al's and at Reeflife, they call it Hawaiian hawkfish, you can call Pat at reeflife to find out when he orders Hawaiian fish and order through him or buy it online these are couple of links.

Thanks Rogger... I saw them at both sites but I am not so much skeptical of ordering on the net but rather see it in front of me to judge the fishes health myself. I literally like to see the fish swim around for 5-10 minutes and make sure it's eating without a prob before making a decision.. Just being picky and ensuring I am not wasting cash on a fish thats beat up.

thanks again on the nfo..Will definitely call reeflife.

I purchased a flame hawkfish recently, I wish I had spent more time observing him. He looked ok at the LFS, and was ok looking in my tank for a week. But one morning I found 3-4 mushrooms chewed up off my rocks, and I found him laying next to them with a big fat belly.

I guess I wouldn't have been able to avoid his death regardless of how much I observed him at the LFS, but it's still sad. He was eating voraciously right up until his death. Oh well.

R.I.P. Guillermo!
