Well I'm sorry for the misleading information, the article and news posts all seem to say 'bred' but when you read the details it says Xanthichthys was not bred, only the fry were reared.
Sorry about that. Good catch MrTuskfish.
I retract my "I stand corrected statement". Thanks! This is still good news. Hong Kong and other Asian facilities are doing tons of work in this area. Even though not tank-bred; taking a tiny fry or larvae out of the ocean is certainly better conservation than taking adults; and tank-raised (although not bred) fare better when they reach the hobbyist.
