Good luck.

Austin, due to this being someone elses thread who is looking to buy, I would not want to discuss that in his thread I hope you understand. Hit me up in my tank thread or PM and I will let you know

Your friend willing to ship?

Unless a someone who already has one of these, it will be pretty hard to find.
These are more of a winter/spring seasonally caught fish if I am not mistaken.

I love mine, definitely a cool looking fish. Not a whole lot in the personality department though.

Good luck...

Borbonius Anthias 2-4 (Odontanthias borbonius) - Reef Hot Spot they have them in stock

 

[nater]

oops , they are sold out... my bad. wow they are exspensive

 

[myreef2reef]

Yeah...I saw that too...

 

[iReefer]

i though these fishes price have dropped big time

 

[myreef2reef]

Yeah...I last saw them going for about $50/each a few months ago and earlier this year...I don't know who's selling them for the outrageous price.

 

[er1c.the.reefer]

its probably because they come and go. they flooded the stores for a while but i haven't seen one in the stores since at least midsummer.

anyways, i think a friend of mine has one he's trying to get rid of, i'll send him your way.

 

[myreef2reef]

Thanks!

They have...

When I first saw them for sale there were two going for $900 each (I've seen them for more than that too). This was about three years ago.

When Divers Den sells them (lately), they're around $125, and I've seen them as low as $65 from other placesl. I'd gladly pull one from DD based on the quality of the specific specimen and 14 day gaurantee though.

RHS hasn't changed their price on them in a long time.

 

[myreef2reef]

Yeah...knowing that I can get one for anywhere between $50-$65/each, I'm not going to pay the outrageous price of $900 for one. I'd rather upgrade my equipment for that price.
