Flame Angelfish Colorations

[reefwisher]

I have been researching the different colorations in the flame angelfish depending on the locations they are caught. The one I have been looking for is the ones from Hawaii because they say that they are more redder then the others ones are. Is this true? The ones that comes from the Marshall Island have a lot of red in it also. I am looking to buy a flame angelfish with a lot of red in it more then the red/orange look. So which one is the more redder? I have found places to get the ones from Hawaii as well as the Marshall Islands.

Hawaii - most of the time more red than the other ones... however not always
Christmas islands - usually very nice, even compared to HI flames...
Marshalls - more orange through the body.

True Hawaiian flames are very rare though.

I had a xmas island flame previously. The color was incredible...almost had a purple glow to it, even without tank lights.

Hawaiin's usually have a very deep red, but IME the color in some individuals doesn't keep the deep red and others do.

There is a very red true Hawaii flame on DD if you are interested.

I have seen the Hawaiian Flame the other day on DD but not me for that price.
