He didn't really do that. I knew it was still gonna be waaaay to expensive but I wanted to see what the price was.

A "just as impossible" fish to get. Unless you find someone that is willing to give up their RCT captive bred (good luck!).

IF I was a billionaire, it would not be one of these fish. I'd go for something very exotic, like a leafy dragon or a chambered nautilus.

Is the chambered nautilus the thing that swims backwards and is related to squid but have a shell? I think I saw one on planet earth.

Yes, there are only a few in captivity and they have some issues...but since I'm a billionaire, I'll be able to solve that.

Speaking of celephods, a color changing cuttlefish would be a good display as well.

lol well i think my next diving trip will be to Hawaii i am doing my tech diving training so hay if go there for a 2 week trip and do 2 deep dives a day so 28 dives. they cant be so rare that in 28 dives i could not find 2

If I'm correct there has only been on two recorded males collected in Hawaii. The first I think was in 1975 and the second was just a few years ago. I'm not sure how rare the females are. There has probobly been thousands of dives in hawaii between those two caches so I'm guessing that you're probobly not going to find any.

Jmanypanda, were are the most located? THere are a few in Hawaii but arn't there alot more somewere else?

 

[delloman]

well since they are at 200 feet the number of divers that have the skill to go to that level is may be 10000 people would wide i may be off on this number. compared to the number of recreational divers who dive to no more then 140 feet which is over a 1 mill + people. also from what i read about the males they are just less likely to servive in captivity

This fish is BRIGHT, but I really like frogfish, but never had one.

 

[jamos5790]

Ok so here is my new favorite rare fish! Holacanthus limbaughi or clipperton angelfish.

No idea! There is an article on reefbuilders.com about there illegal importation so I would say expensive if not impossible for normal people to get.
