I know they are not a sponsor, but I wish they were! I got my White tail bristletooth tang from Kenny at POTO and it was a very smooth transaction. While FedEx delayed the shipment, it arrived an hour and a half from the scheduled delivery. The fish was a bit stressed from the trip and it took him a good two days to acclimate, but I was in contact with Kenny throughout the entire process and he gave me suggestions on how to ease the acclimation process. Now he's swimming all over the tank grazing on algae and eating nori with the rest of the big tangs and regal. The best part is that POTO quarantines/medicate their labeled "Conditioned" fish. This guy was at his facility for over a month and is super healthy. They're one of the very few vendors that do that. They also offer a 30 day stay alive guarantee.

While in the past, I was never a fan of shipping fish, I've had pretty good luck with reputable vendors like this one. And while they're more expensive, they're also better taken care of and less likely to carry disease due to proper quarantine and conditioning. So if you're looking for rare fish and POTO has it, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this vendor.

Never heard of them, but will Deff look to use them when looking for fish.
