I'd be a nervous wreck sleeping by my QT if I bought a fish that expensive.
Will anyone buy the $7500 fish?

The Clarion Angels are only found in one very small region. There is a small window when collection permits are granted. The weather and seas in getting to the location are very treacherous most of the year. The location is extremely remote and can only be accessed by boat. Depending on who you talk to the boat ride is 3-8 days each direction. For the past 30 years there is usually only one or 2 'collections' of Clarions. When they come in they come in in all sizes. The are beautiful as juveniles, and less attractive (in most peoples opinions) when adults. They are tough fish - Both in terms of being hardy and in terms of being aggressive. These are equivalent of Passer angels. For anyone talking about the ridiculousness of the price. Everything has extremes. You can buy a used Yugo for $500 and drive to work. But when you get to work someone in the parking lot is going to have a Tesla (200x the price) a Bentley (400x the price) or even a Ford 150 Platinum edition (Almost $100k for a truck). Just because the price doesn't fit into your budget it doesn't mean it's not there for someone else.
Clarions at the wild caught Price Point don't sit at the wholesalers for long.
I have a friend with (3) Personatus, a Debellius, and an Abei.
I also am friends with 2 people who have Peppermints (multiples) doing well for more than 3 years.
At least with a Clarion you are talking about a really strong fish. Put it in a tank and it's going to adjust quickly, become the boss quickly and live a very long time. It's probably one of the safer expensive fish out their because they are so tough.

Ha. Well I don't know that you could ever find a good yugo, but they actually have a cult collector following now and cost a decent amount of money. Most I have seen cost more than they did new.

No, there are a couple in private aquaria from the last batch that are still alive. Well at least a couple months ago they were. And they were more around the $30k mark
Spot on Dave.
I do actually like them as adults, albeit their color isn't as intense as you stated but still nice contrast. But as stated, they are too mean for my taste and way out of my budget but if I had the money that was disposable to that degree I'd probably do one

when the person doesnt read and spouts off about illegal collection and black market when they are saying they arent rare and are found in stores regularly. so yes

We also have to remember each fish is different. I probably have had hands on experience with 50+ Clarions. I also helped years ago when a batch was seized by Fish and Wildlife and was taken to the Aquarium of the Pacific. I was able to follow-up with those fish for several years. And they are tough.
When you throw them in a giant aquarium display tank -10k gallons + they aren't troublemakers at all.
And there was a coral store in Pasadena. He had a pair of Clarions in an SPS display tank for many years that were mellow as can be.

Andrew. Hedge brew is his screen name. I believe Yalcin posts stuff about his tank a while ago.
Yes he had a pair. But had heard he lost one 6months back I believe.
