Well I know you don't want a dinner plate sized black but that is exactly what i got a month or so ago. I know my contact can get smaller ones. I will PM you the info. I am getting a Tinker's from him this week. Let me know how it works out. Regards, Tim

No offense, but those big dinner plate sized ones should be left in the ocean to breed. The price on them is going to skyrocket because they overcollected them in Xmas.

myerst2 · 05/07/2008, 03:03 PM

No offense taken but the reason they are expensive is because they are only collected in Christmas a couple of other locals. They are common in other areas where they are not collected. Look at your avatar you should leave the big dracula gobies in the wild so they can breed. Did you get a baby Dracula? In fact it looks like you may even have a pair? So what's the deal?
