Well this was a trial shipment from a new supplier. Also - this one was sold as an adult 4.5" "supermale". I was charged the same price as the apx. 3" sub-adult because a couple other fish I requested were not available, and becuase as I did not have one that I would propably want to keep it for my display. I am putting quite the collection of Cirrhilabrus species wrasse together! Costly - well that is a little subjective, they are not cheap (for a fish!), I sold the sub-adult 3" rhomboid for $300. Diver's Den sell them for much more. No black tang price tag though.
I do not see being able to get them often. Also, until I can get WYSIWYG photos (hence buying a SLR camera) I do not see selling fish online going all that well.........which has been the case to date, people seem more reluctant to buy fish than corals. Understandable though. That being said I hope to try a least one more shipment with this supplier. He can get me great stuff - I will post some prices on Canreef that include shipping wight to your door.

They are beauties - and while very timid and elusive for the fist week, now out and about and very active.
