There is one in the hawaii aquarium.

That is the hawaii one in the link. They have about four masked angels right next to it. Waikiki aquarium is very small but they have some quality stuff lol.

A member on this forum collected 9 of them a few months back, I believe you could get one from him somewhere in the 18k-22k range

I've been there before, but I don't think they had it that time.

When you say a member collected some, does that mean they had a license, I would assume so. If you watch the video it says you have to go down to 300 & 400 feet to get them. That's pretty deep for recreational diving.

wow, those are awesome :beer: and made some one some loot! lol

Thank you for chiming in on this, I know you have much more experience with the member than I do, I thought you got one or two but wasn't 100%

The member mentioned is a highly skilled professional fish collector

18 posts in and no link to the Peppermint Angel thread? The diver is Rufus Kimura, freedive43 here on the boards. Here is the thread with a lot of the info you are asking about...
