Thanks guys,
Yes, it is a rarity in any market. Dr. Hiroshi Senou in Kanagawa Prefectural Museum informed me that it is undecribed and he wants it as a type specimen. I promised to send it to him next year. It has been photographed in Kumejima, Ryukyus, etc.
Now it is lively, active and eating well. I got another rare dotyback Pseudochromis striatus, 35mm from Okinawa.
If you have a book 'Coastal Fishes of Taiwan' (Shen, 1984) you can see the same species in the book, but it is shown as P. porphyreus.
