It lives exclusive to the eastern pacific and is listed as an endangered. A lot of clarions are passed off as passers, which is incorrect. They have also been not been imported for many years and are being collected again, and passed off as Passers, this fish should stay in the ocean.

do they ship to the states?
I looked at some of their freshwater stuff (lot more knowledgeable about that) and a lot of the stuff was either overpriced or in such bulk sizes that you'd have to be an LFS to order it. Some of the packages didn't make sense, they were too big (territorial/aggressive fish) for a home aquarium, but too small to make sense to buy wholesale. Weird site. ll

Unfortunately, another expensive angel due to it's isolation and related costs for collection and transport, the clarion angel is perhaps the hardiest, most undemanding species of marine angelfishes.
These gorgeous fish are found in the Tropical East Pacific, limited, specific range, some volcanic islands of/in south western Baja California, the Islas Revillagigedos, Roca Partida, Islas Socorro & San Benedicto, a sea mount "Hurricane", and of course the other volcanic spire-namesake Isla Clarion itself. They have been seen in small numbers around Cabo San Lucas at the southern most
tip of Baja, around the Cortez corner up to Cabo Pulmo. It has supposedly been found all the way down to Cocos in Costa Rica and southwestward to Clipperton. Shallow to one hundred or so feet.

I wonder if the pricing on this fish is due to it being offered in Australia. If I am not mistaken it is very hard to import non-native species of animals into Australia - lots of paperwork and quarentine procedures I believe. I am not sure on this 100% but thought that was the case.
Clarions (when available a year ago) in the states were not nearly that expensive. I own one I bought around 14 months ago in Chicago and did not pay nearly that for it. Clarions are only rare/expensive because of location and the legality of collection (permits required), they are not hard to keep or endangered or hard to find where they are native.

More is better-er!
You're 100% correct. To bring anything into Australia we have to pay shipping/handling fees, quarantine inspections from AQIS (on both arrival and release), mandatory holding in an established and licenced quarantine facility, and then whatever other overheads apply - that's all on top of the fish. Anything not local we get gouged on.
Consider yourselves lucky that your government is much more lenient when it comes to importation
Also as a sidenote, that's only the stock they have access to, none of it is held in-stock. You'd have to be insane to import a fish for $10k off a list and then have it sit if you couldn't satisfy demand which it's fairly sure you couldn't over here. We don't like paying stupid prices very much.
the lists we have on importable fish are crap to say the least... but its for a good reason keep the barrier reef safe, from disease and what not.
we pay a lot more for live stock fish inverts etc but our corals are relatively cheap in comparison to yours.
so in my books its a fair trade
