Hey Rob do you ever see any Liopropoma aurora when your diving?

Yes. I've seen 2 different specimens several times in the same 2 seperate areas. Depth is between 210-220 in caves. Nice fish but so fricken shy and smart

Rob caught a second one and it's available to a US buyer. Another girl. Here is a pic of her still on the boat, literally. Only way to get a decent pic and not worry about damaging the fish is to have her flat. Maybe they'll wrangle a few males today?

She's just over 6.5" in size and will need proper care as an adult female. Possibly an institution will snatch her up.

I see Chris and I are playing dueling pics again. He's FAST!

Big mistake Rob! I recognize the water in that pic! Your spot is no longer so secret!

Aghhhhhhh!!! You got me!!! I confess! Yes, it is somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I can no longer deny it...

I am pretty sure I posted these photos before here somewhere, but I never get tired of posting them, these fish are so beautiful! These two were photographed at a mere 50ft deep, but in a pretty inaccessible area in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, which are closed for fishing and aquarium collections.

That male is just beautiful Luiz. I often dive with Paul & Ned and am always amazed at what their cameras come back with. You are a gifted photographer!
