    Thank you Phil. They grow to about 8" which is much smaller then most other Triggers.

    $100 is about normal, although I've seen them for more. 6", nice. The next baby/juv that passes thru my facility is going into a friends tank. I get like 1 a week, usually they're around 6" like yours, I'll hold out for a 3", I've seen them.

    In the picture below. You see two female Pink Square Spot Anthias which are both completely yellow in the photo.I also purchased a slightly larger male who has been chased by one of the two yellow females above. Consequently one of the females, who is pretty much full grown, is changing to a male. The current male has not been seen for a couple of days.:( I will post a picture of the new up and coming male as the change is more evident to the camera's eye.

    Awesome addition, the yellow really contrasts with the blue!

    Here is a picture of the early stages of the anthias sex change.

    You can see the start of the pink square on the top yellow anthias.
