HAHA!
The laws regarding collecting in hawaiian waters are pretty restrictive, yes. Fish can be collected with the proper permits, but no rock and be harvested at all as I understand it.
Since when are those fish worth that much? I suspect they're worth that only in Hawaii where everything costs too much, which is still fine for you, but if you try to sell them online for that much I think you'll be disappointed. Or not. We'll see.
I've collected fish in the open ocean myself a few times, and yes Osiris, it's pretty tricky. Triggers are either very easy or very hard to catch. They either charge after you or swim away with amazing speed. I don't know how these in particular act.
