The fuscocaudatus clownfish is almost unobtainable.
they are found in the seychelles which includes nearby atolls and aldabra. aldabra and most parts of seychelles is a world heritage site and collection from those areas are prohibited.
however, the fuscocaudatus clowns can be collected from other nearby islands in seychelles that is not protected, but still remains an extremely rare, almost unobtainable species because there is no collection point there.
much like the chaetodon smithi butterfly. they are very commonly found in pitcairn island but because there are no collectors collecting those fishes in such obscure locations, the fish remains unobtainable. or is too expensive and non-feasable to go collect them.
yes the tail is it's distinct beauty.
the name of the clownfish comes from the tail. it's scientific name fuscocaudatus literally means "dark tail" when converted to english.
fusco = dark,
caudatus from the word caudal (fin) = tail.
