Are they rare clown fish? Trying to figure out why they are that price

It’s a super rare specie from eastern Australia. The three-band plus tail shape are what’s special about them.

Well wild caught adds to the price
Being a pair - if truely a pair - adds to the price
Fairly uncommon - I believe a limited range in Australia.
$6k? Nah

You can get captive bred at BlueZoo Aquatics for $249 each

So you’re saying I could get a couple fish who have been schlepped across the world, exposed to various possible diseases and stresses along the way for 6.5K or I could buy some tank acclimated ones for 1/13 of the price.

I wonder how much yellow tang costs in Australia.

And you will get what you pay for ...ugly looking captive bred freaks....

This isn’t so much aimed at hobbyists I would guess. I don’t think they expect us to buy these. These are meant for someone who wants to breed them and monopolize on a rare strain.

 

[AydenLincoln]

The same exact thing can be said about the Yurple and every other rare and expensive fish! They are the Gucci of the saltwater world and way overhyped and overpriced imo.

 

[Nano_Man]

£6000 no problem have you got four pairs and single . I will get back too you when I smash my piggy bank open and check the back of the couch .

What are you talking about? Captive bred are just as pretty and do so so much better in aquariums than stressed out wild caught fish. Do you really think you’ll get a better fish if it’s been shipped half starved around the world?!

All of these fish came to me captive bred. Dare you to call them ugly and most would have killed their wild caught cousins.

Stunning!

I think he was thinking about hybrids - like all those designer clownfish.

Okay that I can partially agree with. Some of those have gone too far.

I love white bonnets and those wide-band Madagascar clowns, but these? They just look too much like Clarkii's to me lol

Right? Thats what I thought they were at first glance! I have the classic darwin and a black ice clown pair, both I got under 100! So 6k for those? What on earth lol

I think most of the designer clownfish are just strange mutations, not hybrids.

Give me the holotype of the species any day though, I’m not a fan of the designer clowns. A bit too artificial, like a lot of other trends in this hobby.

Yurple

Most of the yurple tangs I've seen just look like a scopas to me. Still not convinced that scopas tangs aren't just the mutts of the zebrasoma world.
