Chelmon Muelleri availability

Exciting! I've tried just about everything mine get interested if I put a bunch of food in chaeto and anchor it down with a small rock. He looks inside and every once in a while tries to pick something out. I'll post some pics Friday if he makes it into the dt.
 
Here's an older pic...........I'll try to snap a new one later. This picture is so old that the green coral in the right hand corner was 13" across when I sold it last year.

Beautiful fish Ed. Thanks for the pic. How long has he been with you?

I got an email about it from Kevin last night. My only problem is I work mornings and have a hard time with the two day delivery rule. I need Saturday delivery. Really appreciate the heads up.

No I didn't get it. I have one coming in to NY aquatics already. DD is hard for me cause I work really early and have a hard time being home for shipments unless they're on Saturday. DD had one yesterday too, I heard they have 4 of them. Its killing me watching them go by but Im trying to be patient. Michael at NYaquatics has been really helpful and ordered me one before I knew DD had some so Im gonna stick with him for now. Its hard not to just go with DD due to all the good things I hear. Anyone have any experience with NYaquatics?
 
This is the one that was on DD. This one looks exactly like what I expected.

This is the one NY got in today. See any differences. Looks almost like a kleins but different. I dont think its a muelleri but maybe theres something I dont know. Thoughts?

That's a coradion species. Apparently lots of aussie fish are hitting the wholesalers, since our local wholesaler runners have listed things like these, rainfordi, and flavirostris on their sale lists.
 
Maybe for you guys down under, but I don't know of any success stories with them. That would be awesome though because they are such a cool fish. I'm with Peter on this one.

How common is it there?

How about the muelleri? I read somewhere that they are not particularly rare in Australia. This might mean that we get hit with a high price because their importation is rare, and not because the fish is rare or difficult to catch. What do you think??

Come on, someone has to give it a try.
 
I talked to my LFS today and he ordered me a muelleri. They've gotta be seasonal cause all the sudden everybody can get me one. Its a lot cheaper through my LFS too, so Im happy. Ill let you guys know how it all turns out.
