Clarion Angelfish (Holacanthus Clarionensis)

[fat walrus]

For those interested, the rare Clarion Angel will be available soon but for a very limited time. I understand from my LFS that all specimens are to be sold pre-booked. So in anyone is interested, talk to your LFS as soon as possible.

I just hope whoever gets it post up some pics and vids if they're a member of the board.

"specimens" sounds like more than one!

Good grief guys..........

Do I have to do all the legwork? :spin1:

The permit has been issued to a group called gulfdiversinternational.com. They have been established since 1973 and was the group that originally introduced the Clarion Angel to the hobby world before Steve Robinson. Apparently the owner came out of retirement because Steve is in trouble for smuggling Clipperton Angels.

My LFS pointed me out to a website call aquafind. And there they were.

EDIT: There is an email link to their website. http://www.gulfdiversinternational.com/

Mention me "Fat Walrus" so hopefully I can get a discount for referral, hehe....

I couldn't hold out any longer. I just called my friend who is the LFS owner and told him to pre-book me. $3500 plus possible additional fees for shipping and handling. My wife is gonna kill me............wish me luck.
