Red Sea tank ??

I am interested in setting up a tank that is all livestock from the Red Sea. Does anyone know if you can get corals and live rock from the Red Sea ?? I know fish are generally available.
 
Kevin Kohen mentioned how difficult getting anything but the basics (purple tang, sohal, asfyr) has been lately. I think it was in the LA forum. I can't remember the last time I saw any small fish from there, wild caught....

I think LA had a couple eightline flashers a bit ago...
 
Make sure you include an Orchid dottyback in that case! Or a Regal Angel, if any Red sea ones are available at present.

Actually, lists of Red Sea endemics would be a great expansion of this thread.

Asfur Angels
Sohal Tangs
Purple Tangs
Eightline Fairy Wrasses
Dejardin Sailfin Tangs

Anyone add to this ? Anthias...corals...........

There are lots of fish found in the Red Sea that are found elsewhere as well but these are some of my favorites.
 
Anyone have a Semilavartus in a reef ????? I love the look of those fish. A small group in a 400-500 galllon reef would be very cool !
