We are selling these for a friend of ours. I'll shoot a video of them eating soon...

This Bandit Angelfish is approx. 3" in length and has been well acclimated to aquarium life. It has been kept in a reef aquarium for over 6 months. They readily accept all prepared foods and we have found these fish to be generally safe with many LPS corals. Price includes shipping and all shipping materials. We will only ship signature required to a fedex office location for pickup. We guarantee live arrival. This species requires expert care and husbandry to thrive.

Bandit Angel #1 - $2000

I have seen them swimming in less than 20 feet near Niihau, in the Hawiian Islands. They swim in open water , not hiding all the time like some. You can dive near Niihau, but not go ashore without special permission. Essentially private.

I must say that I have a bandit for the last 2.5 years and it's absolutely a awesome fish.
Got it when it was about 2" super small but now close to 6" and can't imagine a tank in my house without one.

Ditto snorkeling there, well worth the ride across the channel!

Forgot to mention some of the collection history of these fish...

These were caught by Rufus Kimura (http://macnaconference.org/2014/speakers/rufus-kimura/). These fish occasionally enter the aquarium trade with a cheaper price tag, but they are usually caught within the very limits of recreational scuba diving, and are pinned to relieve the swim bladder pressure as the fish are brought up quickly.
