That's my next clown. I'm eagerly waiting for them to be released. I think it'll be a gorgeous match to my full snowflake.

The reason is simple; some people like them enough to pay the asking price. Limited availability is what keeps captive bred "designers" at higher price points.

Wild caught fish usually have unique reasons for high price tags like inhabiting excessively deep waters or areas where permits are difficult to obtain. Some people like these fish enough that they are willing to pay $600 for a Black Tang, or $1200 for a Candy Basslet, or $20,000 for a Peppermint Angelfish.

Like most things priced out of the average, the value is only arbitrarily absurd to the onlooker.
