    I just checked their webpage and it states "As you may have guessed, we’re still not shipping at the moment. We’re still taking some much-needed time off, and making improvements! Our major personnel haven’t had a vacation in about 15 years… no kidding! In the meantime, please browse the site. We have stunning photos, and you can learn all about all the cool livestock that will be available when we resume shipping."

    just in case you were looking to get something soon.

    They have very healthy livestock and they are a great company. Because they bring in fewer fish and try to keep all of them alive, they are more expensive than, say Live Aquaria, or other companies that just play the odds.

    I prefer to hatch marble cat sharks (but then you have to be willing to force feed the babies). Have you looked at the care needs of them? They need very large tanks, sugar-sized sand, and most of the LR needs to be moved to the sump.
