Where are you located? Have you tried talking to your LFS to see if they can order one in?

I'd suggest rescuing one if you have a tank big enough..... Plenty of "Buster"s floating around.

The same Fish Store where my Cross River is has a 15" MBU that was just brought in on Sunday. Very Very Healthy. When I go into the shop thursday I will take pictures of him and the Cross River.

thats actually the LFS that is by my house and he also ships everywhere. and gets his fish from EVERYWHERE.

I know I have never seen anything like that before since I don't feed mussells to my puffers (yet). I wish I had a huge tank for a puffer like that but the biggest I have right now is 55 gallon sw. I wish I lived around a fish store that had cool puffers. My lsf is ordering a Valentini for me to see and I was so excited when I saw a stars and stripes puffer at a marine store about 35 mins from my house!

That is a Full Shell on the mussle. Not a Half... He chomped through that thing in no time. I guess about a month and a half ago they had another foster Mbu.. She was estimated to be 29" long. I was able to get up there before the owner go it and took it home to his 2000 gallon tank at home!!! Finally a Mbu in the proper size tank!
