nbd,
I suspect that at least the last three hybrids have been imported to Japan. See the web of a shop in Tokyo, and here is a photo of a hybrid angel sold there.

I returned home last night; I took over 70 photos at one shop. I could not have seen any rare or unusual but some interesting species/ specimens to me. The shop seems one of the greatest one in Saitama Prefecture, just north of Tokyo, and I could see so many exotic butterflyfishes, angelfishes, anthias, wrasses, gobies, etc. in some hunfred tanks.
Here is a small, 3cm long Centropyge joculator with a small black spot on dorsal fin. It now seems not-rare fish in the aquarium trade but I think that such a small one cannot be seen so often.

Hi, Thanks.
No, unfortunayely I had no time to go Bora Bora; some three hours were needed to visit the B-Box aquarium in Saitama and ruturned to Tokyo. I could have enjoyed the B-Box so much and asked them to send several specimens of wrasses that would reach me tomorrow or on Wednesday.
Here is another shot in B-Box; one of the many tanks with a bunch of colorful live corals.

Genicanthus personatus are what i want for my 300 right now. would love a pair
Hello Charles,
I am glad that you have shown the list from Waikiki Aquarium. It is very nice and I have never sen some of them. I know that Centropyge interrupta has successsfully been raised in Oahu.
Well, the Cirrhilabrus roseafascia also is shown in the list, and is it the ones I show here ? I have been keeping a male of 16 cm long from Cebu. Your specimen came from Fiji if I remeber well.
