    I just saw a histiophryne psychedelica, Psychedelic Frogfish, on CNN.... amazing looking fish. Anyone got more info on them? Have they ever been seen in the hobby trade? I imagine they woud NOT be cheap any time soon.... if available at all.

    I'm pretty sure someone mentioned that Dingo get one in his 10g thread. Seemed the convo turned to the price tag as well.

    That's a sargassum angler he had. This new species has not been sold here. If that fish were brought into the hobby, it would be WAY more than 150.

    Thats awesome.. I've been thinking a lot lately about my stocking list for my 125.. I started thinking I want something that you dont normally see in reef tanks.. Like a frog or if there was some kind of small turtle or something..
