    Go through Live Aquaria's selection of wrasses and see if you can find him there.

    Very rare and very expensive, to be exact. Also, very delicate. The Genus Anampses is hardly suited for a closed environment.

    Divers den just had one about a month ago, sold in minutes and I don't recall the exact price, but was somewhere around $1500 iirc.
