No idea on pricing, there is a conflict between the youtube video and the blueharbor, the first says it has been collect at 200 meters and the second at 100 meters. I doubt anyone could collect and bring back fish at a depth of 200 meters, but others might know better. I would really like to know where this fish was collected.
It looks a lot to me like holanthias tapui. This is a photo I have saved earlier, but do not remember where I got it from

Living on Okinawa and found a claimed Chrysostictus
So, I am on my way over there right now to get a picture of it...Hopefully, he'll let me take one... He quoted my ¥2,000,000 (Right now with the Yen rte at 80 to a US dollar ~ over $20K DOLLARS!!!!!)
