I would take some corasl if i were you
However reef tanks are illegal as far as I know in Hawaii, as well as taking things from the reef.

If SWF would ship out here I would buy from them. The fish are cheaper here because they are caught by local divers with permits and sold in local shops. I've seen small tellow tangs for $8. Buying equipment from any LFS here is a ripoff. I've never found less than a 30% markup on equipment here than for what I can find it for sale online.

I had the opportunity to scuba dive Hawaii back in 1996 and enjoyed every minute of it. At that time I did not have an interest in marine tanks of my own.....but scuba was my 2nd life. I was military on a stop over with a bunch of aircraft coming back from Korea at the time, and had like 3 days to play.....I did bring back an item of extreme interest and value that I found however. I wa standing by a small stream, more like a drainage ditch that had water flowing in it that went under a roadway out to the flightline. I was just watching some of the small fish in that drainage ditch, and then something shiney caught my eye. I went down and picked it out of the water..It was a 1898 Hawaiian dime.........never said a word to anyone around, as I just wanted to get it home......I could have sold that dime a thousand times already.....All silver money was pulled in and melted down so there is little of it around...This was during the time that the queen whose name I forgot was basically under house arrest .....when the governement or ruling parties were undergoing a major change.

Thanks for the reply guys.... I looked up the laws on a Hawaii Fish and Game website. I guess its against the law to get live coral from the ocean, but i can get debree that has fallen off. Fish and crabs are fine as long as it meets certain length requirements and is not on the protected list. One more Question was, is it a good idea to acctually get wild fish for a tank?
