Just wondering how safe it is, the prices are sooo much cheaper... I'm still kinda new at the marine fish thing, this is the last fish i want in the aquarium, none of the local places are keeping them in stock, and ive seen them on a few marine fish websites for sale. Safe or not?

Yep, it's perfectly safe as long as you order from a reputable dealer. I'm sure some people on here will give some suggestions as to where to order from or places you should avoid.
 
I developed and designed the website emarinefish.com for a LFS here in my town. The store is the largest store south of Tampa FL and they have great fish. Check us out, I'm sure you will be happy with your results.

If you are looking for something you don't see on the site just contact mike through email or the 1800 phone number on the site. He can get just about anything.

Hmm, ordered 4 clowns (2 clarkii's and 2 pinks) from Marine Depot and they arrived today, both clarkii's dead, and 1 pink gasping for air all day.
 
I have had good experiences with drsfostersmith.com and liveaquaria.com

Never had anything show up dead, and they have a 10 day guarantee on livestock provided you return the dead fish in some of your tank water so they can test it. Be careful on how much you buy, though. Its really easy to buy more because of the low prices, and then get killed with shipping and handling charges.
 
http://www.jlaquatics.com/ based out of Coquitlam, B.C. I've never ordered from them personally but the people I have talked have had good experiances there.
