I got a Ember Blenny for $35!

Hey guys,

I've been trying so hard to get a good picture of him outside the bag but he's still tank shy, just introduced him today. He was pretty darn big already in the LFS, he's probably around 3 to 4 inches long....surprised I got him so cheap. I looked online and I've seen that they are rare and go for around $220 for medium to large size. Anyone have one of these guys? I decided to go with this one instead of the starry that was on my list. One positive that I've read on this one is that it requires meaty foods in its diet so it'll make it easier to care for him.

Never mind, he died from transfer stress.
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
10-15 nitrate
1.025 salinity
79.4 average temp
Also have an ammonia badge that says safe
Tested salinity with a hydrometer and a refraction meter
No clue what happened

Only thing I noticed is he was breathing hard at the LFS
Changed my water just to be sure, for the rest of the fish I have in there
