Perfect. I will stick with those then.
I will vouch for @Biota_Marine. Everything I've bought from them has been great. Eats prepared food and very healthy.

Each of these will either ship direct or are available from a quarantine service so fish are likely parasite free.
Sustainable Aquatics - located in TN. Their sister company is Coral Reef TN who will ship direct.
Sea and Reef - located in Maine. They have excellent Clownfish including C-Quest line. They partner with Cultivated Reef for shipping.
Proaquatix is a wholesaler but they have a WYSIWYG program for Clownfish. This is one of the few places where you can see the exact designer Clownfish you will get and find the perfect "Helmet" or "Cheek Spot" - they are not all equal. You can buy the fish from Live Rock n Reef and they will be shipped direct from Proaquatix.
Bali-Aquarich - Known for their Angel Fish. I'm not sure if they sell direct. Their fish are available at Marine Collectors and others.
Poma Labs - High-end Angel Fish. The sell direct and through retailers like Marine Collectors.
Karen Brittain - She is a MACNA Aquarist of the year from Hawaii and a breeder of rare and difficult to breed fish. I haven't been able to find a direct link to her. Her fish are available at Marine Collectors and other retailers.
Quality Marine - located in Los Angeles. Large wholesaler that recently started breeding Purple Tangs in addition to a Blenny, Clownfish, and Gobies. Only available through LFS, Dr. Reefs, and other retailers.
Marine Collectors - Located in Los Angeles. Excellent quarantine service. Fish are hand picked by the owner and meticulously quarantined and tank conditioned. Marine Collectors will help with selection, feeding, and husbandry of your new pet. Also available are extremely rare fish. They work with POMA Labs, Bali Aquarich, Karen Brittain, and ORA for captive bred fish. I have bought fish from them and I would highly recommend. I picked up direct so I can't comment on shipping. I know they pack the fish in huge, durable bags for shipping or pickup.
Dr Reefs Quarantined Fish - located in Oklahoma. Another excellent quarantine service. They offer great service. They have sent me videos of the prospective fish and wee able to tell me the source of the fish. They work with Sea and Reef, Quality Marine, and others. I have bought fish from Dr. Reefs and I would highly recommend. The fish all arrived quickly and well packed.
These are all Clownfish Breeders. They are the original sources of many of the current "famous" breeds.

Biota or ORA, also see if your LFS gets fish from them
We bred a small batch of them earlier this year but we need to put some more research into this species before they're readily available

Thank you. This is great information! Still in the ugly phase and taking it slow.

Any news on the captive bred copperbands? I don't know if that was you guys but I would love to know!
The UF Indian River Facility had some success with this species a bit ago but we aren't working on this species at the moment. It is one we want to culture in the future but we have a few other projects we're very close on that are taking precedent.
Teasing of course but such a hidden gem.
