Never seen one of these in Australia, only the firefish. Nice looking fish, and they are extremely rare thus the price. I belive the tang for over $1000 would be a gem tang, extremely rare and exremely beautiful.

There are few angelfish that run up over 1200 bucks as well as a few eels that make their way into the 4 figure club. Dont think i could do it without a 15 day guarantee  The odds of those fish being kept in enough aquariums over the years due to rarity would lead me to believe that data on suitability and survival rate is not very good...
