I forgot to tell you guys that I already changed the music of this video clip.
The previous one has problem with copyright so some country can't view it.
Hope this one works okay.

these rare enough for you mr. ching?
Centropyge hotumatua - Easter Island
Centropyge nahackyi - Johnston atoll
Centropyge debelius - Mauritius
Genicanthus semifasciatus - Philippines, Japan
Genicanthus semicinctus - Kermadec Island, Lord Howe Island
Genicanthus spinus - Pitcairn Island
most are unobtainable but i won't be surprised if you pull one out in the near future.

Yes, these are more than enough.(especially the first three)
Thanks for posting.
You know what, I think they are already available in Singapore and my friend is going there on this weekend.
But when I read the last line of your post.

hi chingchai!
nope. none are available in Singapore or anywhere else for that matter.
hotumatua and debelius have no collection as of yet but i've heard rumours? so keep a look out. debelius is really deep though.
nahackyi so far no collection? though there's a few in captivity.
spinus and semicinctus no collection. too remote islands at pitcairn and kermedec respectively. you could hire your own collection team though
semifasciatus is the most obtainable out of all. they are still rare but come occasionally from philippines.

I thought there was only on centropyge nahackyi in captivity at the waikiki aquarium. I think they collected 7 but all but one died
Also the USFWS probably wouldnt let collectors got to johnston atoll for centorpyge nahackyi, but maybe they will allow it for captive breeding for the trade. My dream anyways

actually i'm not sure. AFAIK only one alive in waikiki now.
in kiyoshi endoh's book there is a picture of a nahackyi in a holding facility. either belongs to waikiki before they put it in or someone in japan. so i'm not sure really
but the case is not the same for smithi butterfly. 8 were collected, 1 to waikiki and 1 for research and i think the rest to japan. Dr. H. Tanaka has a picture of a smithi in a LFS in japan and he took a few photos of it. i don't know the fate of the smithis but i think somewhere, someone out there has a smithi in his own house.
and maybe the same for nahackyi? we can only dream haha!
i too would like a nahackyi.

I do have cyano but very very few. Nothing serious.
It is inside or underneath some of my corals. I just blow it off with turkey blaster.
