I've seen it a couple times at Taipei 魚街. Not a common fish for sale, so it may be difficult to plan a trip up from the south just to buy these.

Since you are at Kaohsiung, you may want to check with 海賊王, or to ask them when they might be able to get these spotted filefish.

I just went to 海賊王 for the first time yesterday, it's a very nice store. I will go back and ask them about this fish.

Thanks for the advice
 
I'm learning Chinese but, I'm no where near proficient. Can someone tell me the translation for: Mysis shrimp?

Thanks
 
And, where can I buy some snails? I've been able to find almost all kinds of livestock except snails and crabs.

are you talking about algae eater? we call it 食藻螺.it is the most common one. and as for crabs,I know nothing about it. because i am trying to get rid of crabs from my sps tank. it is a no no to me. maybe others wil have idea about it.
 
Thanks davidsu. Yes, there are various snails that eat algae. I am looking for two types of snails: Trochus and Nassarius. Nassarius snails usually burrow in the sand.

Also, some crabs are beneficial. Emerald or green crabs eat bubble algae, Hermit crabs eat algae and waste, and it is now thought that acropora crabs may be beneficial to SPS corals.

I'm not sure that I want any crabs, what I most want is Trochus and nassarius snails.
