Friday aquarium eye candy

We don't have any information about this reef aquarium (posted by youtube member "Jack Allen") other than it's a beauty! Large display tank. Mature coral colonies. Fat angels and tangs. What more needs to be said?

NY Aquatics selling Peppermint and Narcosis Angelfish

We usually don't blog about commercial sales, but we're making an exception because of the extreme rarity (and price) of these two Centropyges. It appears NYAquatics is entering the ultra-high-end-fish foray by offering not only a Peppermint Angel but also a Narcosis Angel for sale. For anyone with deep deep pockets and a passion for dwarf angelfish, here's your chance.

Rare Centropyge nahackyi sighting in Hawaii

It's a good day to be a Centropyge fan! Only officially described in 1989, Centropyge nahackyi is a rarely seen deepwater angelfish.

John Coney photographed this little gem and Brian Greene provides us with video.
