$510 at 25x20. Humphead bannerfish are generally shy but will offer a pose in decent company, which does not include aquarium collectors who often pick these fish off the bottom after stunning them with cyanide. A recent “sustainability report” on Philippine reefs—at the heart of the Coral Triangle—suggests that increased demand may cause these collectors to take better care of their “livestock source.” Meanwhile, wildlife trafficking for the pet trade remains destructive and delusional. NOTE: The island of Negros outlawed aquarium collecting. Some poaching occurs, but massive reef destruction does not. Part of the butterflyfish family, this humphead banner mated pair carouses, feeds and cruises in the most sustainable form. “Mr. Gorbachev, tear DOWN this aquarium!”
