yellow tang

nope... this question is routinely asked here, a simple search would reveal that :)

They are broadcast spawners and no one has been able to unlock the first feed or IIR even settle them out.
 
so are yellow tangs at the lfs wild caught ?

100% and in HI it's a hot issue at the moment. If certain groups have thier way, no more collection will take place in HI and YT will no longer be available. Every blue moon one is caught elsewhere that drifted there but not enough to even really be mentioning this fact :lol:
 
that explains the cost i can't believe with all the tanks across the world someone hasn't figured out how...... someone has to be doing it
 
not to keep beatin the horse but is that all tangs ? the wild caught thing?
I don't believe any Acanthuridae have been bred in captivity, so yes all are wild collected.

It's a lot tougher than you think especially with pelagic spawners...

Public Aquariums around the world as well as private aquariums have spawning events all the time but to date no one has been able to get any to size or even settle out for that matter.
