Free diving to twenty feet, he rises into the mix of emperor and regal angels, blue damsels, turquoise chromis, all the little fins and his heart aflutter till—wait! Flame angels! Just there—a mated pair, peeking out and darting to other cover, demure as a deb, brazen as a beau, and far more virtuous than either. But despite their red-orange bodies and vertical black bars in a riotous fire burst stumbled onto like lost treasure, an unfortunate segment of humanity wants to capture and contain them, wants to watch them under control, in captivity, as they fade away. From FLAME ANGELS (Iguana, Toronto, 2012) available at snorkelbob The latest desecration from Go Airlines in Hawaii is an inflight article on aquarium fish, showing a FLAME ANGEL trapped in a plastic cheese tub, ready for transport. The biggest reef wildlife trafficker in Hawaii goes to Christmas Island to severely oppress this rare species for the aquarium trade. He enjoys special warehouse arrangements with Hawaii’s Department of Natural Resources, where a long-term aq collector is director. In the past, he offered Hawaii reef tours, helping tourists catch their own reef wildlife for transport out of Hawaii—AND Chinese dating tours, which looked like a Chinese hooker jamboree, but we can only speculate.
