How come King Angels are never for sale?

[Kennyboy1984]

I've never seen these on sale anywhere. Anybody know why?

LOL I see plenty of king angels for sale. Most people refer to them as Passer angels.

 

[Kennyboy1984]

LOL. Really? I need to go check that out.

I guess that I never payed close attention to pictures of the passer angel! Forget I even asked the question

Are you talking about King angels (passer angel) which is a common name or Apolemichthys kingi (tiger angel), sometimes refered to as king's angel. Passers are fairly common and kingi's are protected and rare. I've never seen a kingi for sale in the U.S.
