Just saw this on Diver's Den! The ban has definitely impacted prices already.

Yes! I'm so glad they've started captive breeding these guys.

Maybe I should sell mine. Qt'd and disease free! $450 shipped hahaha J/K I love my yellow! I remember when this was the most basic and you could pick them up for $29.99

You can still get a fully QT'd Yellow tang for $250 at @tsmaquatics.

I love my two yellows and like to think I'd never get rid of them but man if that price hits like $1k I'd sure be tempted lol.

I love my hawaiian yellow but these are truly the way to go!

Live aquaria is a little Up there on pricing of fish across the board, Ban or not.

I saw a 4 pack of yellow tail damsels there a few days ago Listed for $150!!

My hope is that these bans incentivize more mariculture and breeding programs. I realize that in many cases the amount of would caught animals is a drop in the bucket compared to what's out there but I still feel a bit guilty buying wild fish and coral.
