Default Where the Humuhumunukuapua'a Go swimmingly Gently By

My favorite is the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a. I caught one scuba diving in Hawaii in 1992. It was only my second dive alone, and I pulled it out the reef by it's tail. I put it my collecting net and turned around as I thought I heard a boat siren, and was confronted by an eye the size of a plate. It was a 20 foot Beluga Whale watching me. After nearly freaking out, I got it packed it in oxygen and brought it home. It is a very intelligent, attractive fish that needs some room, but is rather easy to keep. It liived with s Stonefish that I also caught an nearly stepped on right on Waikiki in a fish only tank. They don't tell tourists , but Waikiki Beach is chock full of Stonefish from the Sheraton Beach right over to Hale Koa.
