Buy captive raised and grown. There are some very responsible
collectors out their also. Walt Smith is one I know of first hand. I
and my wife have been to his place in Fiji, and have seen how they
conduct business. There are a number of others that are really good.
There are a few guys out of Australia that are doing a good job also.

I just posted a reef question earlier, but I forgot my most important
question. My biggest concern is the environmental impact of this hobby. I
have seen websites for companies that have tank-raised specimens, and that
sounds good to me. I just could not stand contributing to over-harvesting
just for the sake of having a fish tank. What do environmentally conscious
hobbyists do?
