Looking for a pair of true percula clowns with more black. Let me know if you have one or know somewhere that has them.

Thanks

I don't think you will find any from Solomon Islands. There is only 1 person collecting down there, he's a friend of mine, and in the past 3 years he hasn't shipped any fish yet just coral. You might be looking for the Papau New Guinea True Percs. These are large and have nice rich colors. I just saw maybe 5 or 6 pairs come in at Harry's Marine.

Interesting. I didn't know there was only one collector in SI. Bummer he's not shipping fish, but I can see why with the coral prices these days.

Ellis Aquatics has a pair available killer price and they were actually pretty decent looking in terms of onyx coloration. Sorry for the crappy pic lot of blue in there and no filter on hand.

What did they cost? Do you remember what the ones from Harry's cost? Just to gauge prices. I'm hoping these won't be $200 fish.

I was hoping to stop by a shop on the way home from Ventura on Labor Day, but I'm thinking everyone might be closed.

Ellis is asking $80 for the pair they are wild caught. Not sure the source.

Harrys is asking $100 / fish. 4 left I think I picked one up today.

Heading to Ventura Nationals?

Cool thanks. $80 is a great price. I might see if they can hold them. Did they have a nice deep orange color like Harry's?

Just visiting some friends up there.
