nope, not a typo. There's a marine protected area and this area is the ONLY place this species occurs. so obviously, no collection is allowed from there. Ryan something or other (a high profile breeder) managed to get his hands on a few (legally but only after a lot of trouble) and bred them. I would imagine most went to japan or something, but this one pair found it's way to LA. Now, considering they are probably the ONLY ones in North America... yeah, well long story short, not a typo. these guys generally go for 3-5K$ a piece. note that LA's are not a breeding pair... they're just two fish in the same tank. but still, at 3K a piece, that actually isn't too bad for this species.
are they worth it? to me, hell no. ugly, and i don't even like clowns that much to begin with (they're just overrated damsels). but to a serious collector, maybe. maybe.

Me too I love my cranky gold stripe, however if I won a lottery, and had money to burn... I would be getting some of these kinds of fish, just because I can. Fish are like any colector's item. the rarer and more difficult to get the bigger the bragging right are to own such things.
