thousands of dollars?
 
Apparently only found in Cuban waters. Until now only available in Canada and Europe. With the Cuban embargo a thing of the past may come to the States. Would be nice if they ramp up the captive breeding.
 
Hey 427HISS,

Wow, this fish is so amazing :)
Is it a unique type?

Zhenya

It was found severel years ago. One of the problems is high cost, as it's more a deep water fish, so divers have to have special equipment, permits, which adds to the cost. Demand, also raises pricing.
