Will I ever find this fish again ?

A few months ago a pair of consignment yellow tangs went for $600 each. A healthy (wild-caught) 3-4" yellow tang goes for $500+. Larger ones even more...

My local LFS has one from a breakdown and is ask $1200 AUD for it

I once had gotten a pair of Earl's Fairy Wrasses for $250 total, now finding a single one for less that $600 (if you can find one) is a 'steal'....

3 fish on this list for me.

Flame wrasse (Cirrhilabrus jordani)
Potters Angel (Centropyge potteri)
(these 2 obv from the Hawaii ban)
Diamond Tail Flasher Wrasse
(Paracheilinus attenuatus)

I would kill to get my hands on another Attenuatus (my old one somehow jumped despite having a fitted custom lid *shrugs*) but seems like none of my usual fish sources seen them available in a loooong time (like years)

I want a wild yellow tang! I wasn’t in the hobby to enjoy them before the ban!

You really don’t see Dunkleosteus terrelli or Haikouichthys ercaicunensis around anymore sadly.
