HI
Just visited the Waikiki Aquarium because i heard they had a very rare fish. It was true, they managed to get a Centropyge Boylei aka Peppermint angelfish. To their knowledge it is the only one of its species to ever be displayed in a public aquarium. They valued it at $30K! Enjoy, truely an amazing little fish!











Hawaii is also known for the endemic species the Masked Angelfish (Genicanthus personatus). Waikiki Aquarium is famous for being the first to ever spawn and raise fry from this rare deep water species.
