Algae barn is now selling captive-bred blue hippo tangs. These are the ones from the wholesaler Sea Dwelling Creatures as mentioned in this article:

The price is $95 plus $67 shipping to Massachusetts. There doesn't appear to be any shipping discount for ordering more than one but I emailed Algae Barn and they are going to look into whether they can change the packaging a bit and fit more than one in a shipping box in which case I will order two or three, and offer the excess to club members for cost.
