Cool Fish on Diver's Den

Not for me! I like the Tinkeri but prefer the Declivis more and they are cheaper. Yes that was my stalker... Has been banned several times this week. He is also BrianD's stalker. He will be back I'm sure. Enough about that. I'm not worried about something picking at corals since I don't have any in the tank yet but I am trying to plan this accordingly since I will have some pricey angels in the tank. I'm thinking Declivis and wrought iron possibly

Care to share what Angels ;)

I love the wrought iron.

Didn't some seller back east (NY Aquatics maybe?) have a wrought iron for sale a few months ago for like $10,000 or something like that?

I know they are a dime-a-dozen, but I think both Copperband and Racoons are just such awesome fish. Love that beak on the CBB.

wrought irons are fairly common and probably 1/4 to 1/5 of what you quoted...
 
DD finally has a very nice looking McCosker's wrasse. This is what mine looks like.

Mine is coming tomorrow. Unfortunately, I didn't get one as good as the one pictured. But, it is still really cool. Will post pics when I get it.

Purchase the fish you want then call them with the order number and tell THEM what day you want the fish to arrive. They are the ones providing the service to you, not the other way around.

I tried that a long time ago and was told they couldn't do it. Not an expensive enough fish I guess.

No worries the red tail flasher wrasse was still there. Over priced I'm sure and not a primo specimen but I'm pleased. Sad the really nice McCosker's was in my cart and someone beat me to the punch on him.

I bought mine from LA as a large male McCosker's and I got one like the one pictured. I got it on sale as well for like $30

Conspicuous, bandit pair, regal pair, for sure. Not 100% on the rest. Want the ones I named to be comfortable and well acclimated before decide what if any other Angels will go in. Brett, Wrought Irons are $3400 most places, can get them for $2500 a few places and I have a guy that can get me a small one for significantly cheaper then that.

Not my cup of tea honestly. From those who have them and that have had them they aren't very smart as far as feeding goes. They are a stunning angel but until I have a mansion beach house and a driveway full of Ferraris you won't see that fish in my tank!

I wish, pockets aren't deep enough even at the not so ridiculous price of 8K. Would of loved to have the small one that came in early last month

Apolemichthys kingi is really not a rare or hard to catch fish, it's just coming from an area where we don't get regular shipments from.
I wish I still had contacts to our relatives in SA...

+1
... but even then I doubt I would find a white and red deepwater Centropyge appealing enough to shell out 30k for a single fish.
There are just too many other interesting fish I would want to go after first.
