Clipperton Angelfish (Holacanthus limbaughi) (6522834547)
Description :
Description: The Clipperton Angelfish (holacanthus limbaughi) is a genus of marine angelfishes (family Pomacanthidae). The fish is a bright blue and is endemic to the Clipperton Atoll, a French territory roughly 5,000km east of Hawaii, 1,000km south of The Revillagigedos (where it’s cousin the Clarion Angelfish is found) and 2,500km northwest of the Galapagos Islands.The species are abundant near volcanic rocks and coral islands. Some are highly valued for aquaria, as all are brightly-colored. Fishing for the Clipperton Angelfish in the Clipperton atoll requires permission from the French government. Because the fish is so rare, each live fish can command several thousand dollars in the U.S. markets and up to $10,000 in the Asian markets. Date: 5 May 2009, 08:30.
