In France, I know that the aquarium called "Septième Continent" (7th continent), in Talmont-Saint-Hilaire hosted this specie at least two times in the last three years. They'll probably get others soon if they don't already have new ones.
This specie never really did well in captivity in Europe but seems to survive in asian aquariums, especially Sea World Indonesia (Jakarta), and Ocean Park (Hong-Kong) where two really huge specimens live.

there are several aquaria in the US that have them and also australia and asia.

in europe, I know burgers had them a few years back and recently a few specimens were available on the importer's list. have no idea where they ended up.
