62G Starfire Reef [40x18x20]

So I almost added a new fish yesterday..

I saw this little guy at Big Als yesterday with no price tag on the tank. It's supposedly a Super Male Ember Blenny (I doubt that it will go Super). I'll be honest I have not seen one before so I could be wrong, but I would assume you'd need some females to help coax this guy into Super Male coloring. So I hung around for 20mins waiting for some service and finally got someone to stop and give me a hand. Asked how much he was.......



........ $250!

Needless to say I passed on it.... not because I think it's to expensive (although based on Liveaquaria, it is overpriced, LA sold one a Super Male in the Divers Den for $80US) but because I didn't have $250 on me... Ok, seriously, I'd maybe pay $120-150... $250 is a stretch!

Nice! I was looking for this guys for a year, but $250 I think is too much

Love those guys! But, um.. ya, $250 is a bit steep ! I'm sure someone will snatch up that beauty of a blenny though.

funny i was staring at that fish the other day for like 10 min. i never asked how much but my wife and i really liked the little guy.

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.

[lastlight]

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!

[lastlight]

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!

[michika]

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.
