Default FS Clarion Angelfish - One of two in Canada
It is an expensive angel due to it's isolation and related costs to collection and transport, the Clarion angel is perhaps the hardiest, most undemanding species of marine angelfishes and is only found in Mexico's waters at Socorro Island in the Islas Revilligigedos (400 mile boat ride from Cabo San Lucas MX)

It's brassy coloration and behavior make this Holacanthus Clarionensis a prize speciman for the eclectic fishkeeper. They're bold, beautiful and behaviorally comical. Oh, did I mention rare and expensive?

Do you trust your abilities with a $3,000 fish.

If you purchase this you will be the owner of 1 of the only 2 known to be in Canada. Yes, they were legitimately collected via permit.

See my avtar for image. I am curios to see who might be as crazy as me. The fish is fully acclimated and has been here for 2 weeks now.

Only 2 in the country? Wow, I knew they were rare but I would have thought someone else would have had some...

How big is the one you're selling?

I am selling because now I have accomplished an egotistical goal. A first in Canada in many years maybe even ever (legally). The collectors only got about 50 (roughly 10 stayed stateside and 2 came here) the rest went to Asia and Europe in a bidding war.
