Ask Micheal Stern he usually gets them.

ZANYMASTER · 06-29-2008, 01:43 AM

I have no way to get to him.His shipping rates went up too.

Holanthias borbonius is not an easy fish to come by. I've only seen it in a handful of places. Greenwich Aquaria (CT) which went for more then $199, Pets Warehouse (LI), when they had them last year for $150, Divers den & NY Aquatics.
15 + years ago, they were a $600 fish that mostly went to Japan. The ones that have been popping up recently are believed to be caught in shallower waters off of Bali. They are typically a deep water anthias rare to the hobby.

They are seasonal. Talked to michael about it a few months ago.

I'm surprised they still have any.
To the best of my knowledge, no more are coming into the country now.
They'll start up again in October or November.
Then everyone, including me, will have them again.
