I hadn't read the entire thread so do I feel dumb. I ran a search on them and no one has had any experience mail ordering from them.
They no longer have the 3" but they do have a 5" I am thinking about buying.
They stated they have a 7 day health guarantee but who knows if they really stick by it given the price of the fish and it being mail order.

Find an Angel thats similar ranges in the wild as a peppermint, that is ugly, and I bet its the rarest out there.

Copps,
I have to agree on the Narcosis. I had forgotten about that one.

All the angels here are absolutely gorgeous. I have never seen the what or blue morph ones, stunning to say the least. And the multi spine one is one of my choices since I can't get the Peppermint angels, YET! Is there anyone out there that is actively trying to captive bred any of there angels?
And Nexdog, if you ever do that, you can definitely put my on the list as a buyer. Do you know any one there that has them, and has had any success with just keeping them?

Whoa! Thought I had seen most hybrids, that is a very cool fish.
Hi All,
Here is a photo of Centropyge debelius, 8cm at a retailer in Kyoto. I have four shots but it is the best. The species commands a very high price of around US$600, and scarcely imported to Japan. It was doing well in a display tank there. It is almost restricted to Mauritius and Aldabra.
An additional shot of Centropyge potteri, 10cm at the same shop. I heard that two specimens were caught at the depth of more than 60 meters at off Kona Coast, and one of them was shipped to the US. This specimen also cots US$600.
The third shot shows a juvenile, 3cm long Apolemichthys griffisi. Now often imported but still rare in market.

Waikiki Aquarium still has a pair of personatus. I'm not sure if they're the same ones as before, though - a while ago the male was looking somewhat unhealthy and the exhibit was closed for a few weeks. Now the display is back and the fish look slightly different (but maybe I just have bad memory).
Masked angels are typically caught in the Northwestern Hawaiian islands, where they are commonly found in shallow water but can't be legally collected (unless you work for Waikiki Aquarium, obviously). However, they are also found in the main Hawaiian islands in deep water and very rarely pop up in the shallows - surprisingly the type specimen was collected near downtown Honolulu in only 80'! The logistics of collecting personatus are similar to other deepwater fish such as boylei so it's not unreasonable to expect one to turn up once in a while.
I've seen personatus in submersible videos at 300' off Oahu - I know where they are but don't have the skill to go diving for them. One of these days...
Hello NexDog,
No. I am so sorry that they have no web. Thename of the shop is "Earth". They are holding and selling so many species of fish and corals. Perhaps you may find the name in older issues of Marine Aquarist magazine, publishing four issues a year.
RGBMat,
I saw two females and a male there some 15 years ago, but I hear that they do not do well.
