    Thanks everyone
    it's most common name is 'twin spot' or 'fu manchu' scientific name would be Dendrochirus biocellatus. it is a dwarf lionfish hence 'Dendrochirus' max size 3.9" mine is about 1.5" Recomended tank size is 20-30g. I have just ordered the redsea max 250...I am a bit worried about feeding her once she is in there. they are not easy fish to keep. Most only accepting live food sometimes only shrimp. I am trying to switch her to silversides AND live but no sucess yet, at the moment she only eats gut loaded ghost shrimp:( I am not sure of the regular price ( I pay wholesale) but I believe they run about $40-$45ish. Not too common.
    I have some better photos that I will post up tomarrow morning.
