![]() 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.

![]() 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.

![]() They've had these fish around for awhile now mostly in asia and have recently opened a permit to catch 50 only I guess the guy that caught them got paid lol!!
I would love to own one of these fish but I need a 400+g tank also to achieve that I would need to sell my ride psssh I'll take the turbo for now..... The clarion,conspicious,iron butterfly are some of the top ranked fish to own maybe when I hit the lotery I will invest in these fish just the 3 that I listed will cost over 12g's oh and the butterfly needs cooler water so either an a/c room or a big chiller. A guy had one in Van well actually 2 and both died because of heat issues how would any of you feel losing 3g's in 1 hour ouch.
