Hi,

Have any bros seen this before ? Shld be very ex ?

[yikai]

the red and white angel on the cover?

that's a peppermint angelfish (Paracentropyge boylei)

it's found only in the cook islands and is collected by chip boyle.

it's extremely expensive, extremely rare and extremely difficult to keep.

the cost is $XXXXX 5 digit.

you will never be able to find it, buy it or see it in real life. unless you are willing to pay. even then, it's very unobtainable.

if you are talking about the book, it's a book written by kiyoshi endoh is is available at reef depot.

showcases every single angelfish in the world.
