Not in any way affected by a ban this week sorry to say.

1month ago... $40, last week $80... this week none available. Biota- $119 (no brainer at that price now). Nice win for captive breeding.

[crocodile receptionist]

$690

 

[SPSNick]

$200 for a medium/large in Central Florida

 

[Specific Ocean]

$180

 

[ReefSapper]

$130-$150 in Phoenix area at shops that still have them.

 

[KrisReef]

Very good Hawaii. Now the value of poaching will make the illegal catch skyrocket.
YoHo!

Yellow and Kole tangs were both on my stocking list, seems I was 6mths too late as I was offered a Yellow Tangs for around $900-1200Aus today,
Really hope this changes somehow

$200 for a small one in Cali. last week, $60. really sucks because I have had tang fever lately!

 

[tricky_tran]

$200 for medium/large here in Los Angeles. My small Yellow Tang committed suicide couple of weeks go. The night before I found him he was swimming really close and brushing up against my Condy. I think he thought he was a Clown fish and tried to host the Condy or something. Next day, I found him dead between the rocks next to the Nem. sigh.

 

[Acros]

$199 for yellow tang. Prices of other tangs are unchanged.

What other species will be difficult to get now? Yellow, cole, and convict tangs, of course. I'm guessing all sorts of triggerfish? And any specific coral kinds?

 

[ohioreef]

Found one LFS in the area that had three. Want $150 each for them.

 

[yman182]
