Perhaps she's not back yet?!?!

She's not, she's heading to Indonesia next but she does check the board occasionally. A pm would probably get her attention.

VERY cool critter btw!

Yep, that's the reason I was there, all expenses paid Can't get much better than that.

Can I tell you anymore about it? Not really... it's beautiful, I hated killing it, and it was a pain in the arse to get back to the U.S. To any that might want to see it - sadly, the fixation process has leached all the pigment from it, so it's not nearly as beautiful as it was when it was alive.

Tell us more...

Was it just ONE fish... i.e. did you actually capture the fish that was in the news photographs or are there others? How did you capture it? How did you kill it? How did you transport it back? Tell us stories!! We love stories!! Yay for story time!!

Well I wrote out all the answers to your questions, but I'm not sure an online public forum is the best place to put them, so I guess you'll have to talk to me when we meet up again
