This is correct...live in Hawaii and just left LFS today and there was only raised prices for Hippo Tangs and other fish that were imported. LFS can sell "imported" fish all day but anything from Hawaii waters is a no-go! Bought 2 Yellow Tangs that were the last my LFS had about a month ago. Nothing now. No Flame angels, Yellow Tangs, Potters Angels, and such where before the LFS was full of them and they'd ship them to the states. I think it sucks but they are a bit crazy here some folks are at least about the fish/environment which is strange cause you see the tourist tearing up the reefs and beaches all the time! What hypocrisy to a degree.Prior to this ban coral fish (lfs) on Oahu sold yellow tangs for $30 (caught wild). I think in my opinion captive bred is where the price hike comes from.
