The export is not setup for fishes but it is still a small possibility in the future. The government has a big hand that is pushing Grouper Farming & commercial clam/coral farming so I doubt there will be a big push for fish, especially since it is a difficult transit from Borneo. Some small fish like Caracanthus sp. and gobies are exported as bi-catch from the corals. Invert wise only certain Fromia starfish and cephalopod eggs are targeted, excluding anemones/cocoworms.

I don tknow if the region is set up to export fishes too but seems like inverts would be ok to pack along with corals.

Great news! I hope this will also increase the diversity of other “new” invertebrates and fishes available to us.

WOW, I’ve had a Diaseris for a cuople years now, identical to the third picture, and I’m yet to see another one (even a picture) except from the aquaculture facility I bought it from.
