I seen candy basslets on divers den last year going for $699 us so this seems steep but I guess they could have jumped up in price . Not really a $1500 fish IMO

Yeah, I've never seen them at such a high price in Canada. Especially considering our dollar is so much better right now than it has been.

They're pretty cryptic, but they're not that bad! Have you seen one in person? They are IMO one of the most beautiful reef fish in the ocean. Earlei Fairy Wrasse have similar coloration (similar price too haha), but not quite as bright. Nice option for a stripey fish though.

they are very cool fish you end up seeing them cruising through the rocks quit a bit , they just aren't the up at the front of the tank type . Wouldn't mind having one but I like small ornamental shrimp more ie bumble bee / anemone shrimp .

I went by J&L's earlier in the week. Apparently they got 2 in one for a client (Kengeroo I am guessing) and one to sell. He is in a tank by himself and he is one friendly fish. Might be worth it at a quarter the price.

I told them I would pay that if they gave me a ten year guarantee. Would be a terrible thing to come home and find him on the floor.
