blackaxil chromis

look exactly like blue green reef chromis but have black under their pectoral fins....my question is, how rare are they in the trade? blue green chromis are very abundant but black axils seem to be rather rare. Also what kinda prices do they usually go for? 4 bucks like the blue green or more?

i just got 2 of em yesterday ....LFS got them from some guy who was moving and traded in his fish(yes 2, very strange that a guy was keeping them in a pair but they seem to be buds). They sold them to me as blue green reef chromis for 3.99 each(cus they dident know, and i wasent going to say anything) I have never seen them in the trade and thats why im asking about them....btw scientific name is chromis atripectoralis.
