LFS that was closing, was just over silver dollar size, had it for 3 years till I tore the tank down. He was nearly 5" when I sold him.

Lucky you!! That’s the perfect size too!!
Have any pictures of him?

Pair of ORA Radial Filefish. Love these fish, there actually very entertaining, their colors and patterns change depending on their surroundings. They're very original, not a lot of people even know what they are and visitors at my house always comment. They cost $59 each from Divers Den.

$80 for my Pink Margin Fairy Wrasse (C. rubrimarginatus) a year and a half ago. Still thriving with tons of personality.

$100 for a branching frogspawn with 7 heads which has since died back to 3 tiny baby heads. Unfortunately not worth it.
Frogspawn is my favorite coral and I always seem to have trouble with for one reason or another.

Oh boy.

We'll, this guy (rhinopias) was $600:

And he ate this guy (adult Labout's wrasse I got from Live Aquaria who was 6"!). It was $550, so that made the rhinopias worth $1,150 in my book.

I later got this guy (gem tang) for "only" $800. I do love having him:

That brain was only like $250. It was a steal.
