Was it bright Red?, I put in an order for one through someone else a while ago and it never came in - I think its pretty rare that they just show up in a fish order., that's if it is a Super Male - I wouldn't pay $250 though.

it def did not look like a reg ember blenny. the reds were quite red which is why he caught my eye. can a fish remain half changed or would it complete the transformation? and can they change back if there's no female ?

gorgeous fish but i've promised myself no more fish as I feel my load is great as is.

According to Big Al's it's on it's way to becoming a super male. I would have thought he would need a harem of females to become a Super Male. So no, he wasn't bright red like the pic below.. If he looked like this pic, I would drop $250 in a heartbeat I think.

That was the Red I was expecting for a Super Male - Really nice Fish!

no def not red like that. but i'd believe he's undergoing the change for sure. my wallet doesn't care if he is though lol. $250 ouch!

That is one schmexy schmexy fish there.

I wonder how easily they can be ordered in up here? I'd be in for a group order with some locals, depeding on price of course.

not easily enough , the ember blennys can be got from time to time but the super males arnt easy to get and ive yet to get one.

i see them on my list very rarely but i order one everytime and anytime i do its cut from the list , meaning that one of the larger stores who do large orders get it(or a buddy of the supplier)

for an example there may be 100-200 embers available on my list(usualy juvies) but only 3 super males , divide that by 100 stores or people who want them... and its not easy

alot of the larger stores are dropping 10-20g a month with suppliers so i dont think a grouporder of several is gonna do it.

beautiful fish though and my fave for blens
