OC aquatics has one i believe for $125.
btw, the 5 white bars is a sign of stress shown on newly shipped specimens so its not really a good thing.
I picked mine up from Seaside, hope you find one soon!

OC Aquatic Tropical Fish had a couple on Saturday.

I know someone selling one for $70 in SD. Let me know if you are willing to drive down. I was going to buy the fish but I cant get my dumb 6 line out hahaha.

I saw one at Seaside and Pacific Reef last week.

I think Amazing Reefs and Aquariums (Ali's Place) has one or two. You should probably call first.

I was told that the two popular places Mystery Wrasses are collected from are Hawaii and Vanuatu. I was also told that the ones from Vanuatu are usually a bit more money as the ones from Hawaii tend to lose their color over time. Any truth to these statements?

I remember seeing two of them at SeaSide for like $99 each a few weeks ago. I know they get in fish shipments every Monday so you might want to check them out.

JediReefer · #12 01/07/2008, 05:51 PM

^^^ good price.

J-Bass · #13 01/07/2008, 05:57 PM

Price was around like $99-125, can't remember exactly, but I remember it was quite low for what I usually see them go for at fish stores.

ezcompany · #14 01/07/2008, 07:02 PM

yeah with tax it comes out to around $108 @ seaside

the two are a rare pair and it's not for sale unless you offer him your soul......:-)

I got the last mystery wrasse from seaside. You need to tell David so he can order it for you. Their price is the lowest in town.

Yeah, I didn't mean those. Last week he had a couple in the cubes, but I was just there today and they are all gone.
