yep, i got them in the Ocean Aquarium. it's a store on cedar St. It is wonderful and Justin is very nice and cool guy to talk to. He has certainly the best quality fish i ever saw in a fish store. The store look a little massy but it is great. Nice, rare, interesting fish. Nice plants, nice prices. If i knew you wanted some i could have brought some more. I might go again sometime. Let me know.
