Anyone obsessed with triggers come here!

Hey,
I remember someone who was obsessed with Triggerfish and had recently ordered a rare one. Just wanted to let them/anyone else interested in Trigerfish about this:

I saw 3 African Queen triggers "Super Rare" for $1500 each. Then about a half hour later, at another local pet store, I saw an African Queen Trigger "Super Rare" for $575. How rare are these creatures, when I never heard of them, then saw several at local pet stores on the "island" I live on? I'll stick with my niger trigger anyday.

I hope you did not order this specific one as the prices on these triggers are dropping because they are not as rare as they are touting. I am seeing them on the wholesalers lists in bulk and they are going for as low as $150 retail in some areas.
They are a really nice looking trigger but not worth the $ IMOP.

These fish are not rare and are just as plentiful as normal queen triggers. They have not been collected in the last 10 years so most people think that are this new rare fish that should demand a high dollar price. The only justification for a higher costs is the shipping from Africa. Other than that they are just the new "fad" fish.
