Sorry, I had to delete that post.. the pix is simply too big.

Use a imaging software to resize your pix to 600 pixels wide

Anyway, the tang shown above is a Gem Tang. Very very expensive. I heard from Coral Farm that if you want to bring in, it will cost around $400 a piece or more.

Check out what they said:

"They're as hardy as other members of the genus and require no special care, except a fat wallet."

That says a lot right?
