    Happily I kid you not Sir! :) we'll find fish or inverts for you that no one else can or are willing to.

    Email Bob, [email protected] and let us know what you'll be needing.

    in fact we've already sent pics of both male and female Odontodactylus japonicus to our collectors.

    Thank you for that location info, additionally they can also be found in the Indo-Pacific region and Australia and fortunately we have divers in both regions.
