| Old Text: | The Resplendent Angelfish is the ONLY Angelfish species to be placed on the IUCN Red List as ‘vulnerable’. Despite being common in its native waters, its highly restricted geographical range is a contribution to this decision. Additionally, the Administrator for Ascension Island has placed a ban on the export of reef organisms (a decision that may be revised in future), and consequently, availability of this species is extremely low. Any individuals (such as those emanating from captive breeding programmes) that DO become available are likely to be astronomically expensive! Note that some sources report the Resplendent Angelfish as attaining a larger maximum SL in the aquarium than in the wild: additionally, the Burgess’ Mini-Atlas quotes a larger maximum SL than some other sources (that figure is used here).
