Holy smokes! Great pickup! I'd love to get me pair or trio too. Please post many pics and/or videos so I can live vicariously.

No pics, no care. :clown:

Congrats; rather jealous here (one that's on my dream list)

I'm assuming it came from Quality Marine, also do you happen to live in NJ? I had a male offered up to me last week and there was also a pair available.

What was the pair price? I was offered a male here in HK two weeks back but I passed as there were no females w the collector. Thx

I think were all waiting for a stab at that one, I also wouldnt mind a C. brunneus.

What are they asking?

 

[d-man]

WOW!!!!! Beautiful fish. I just looked it up. Yes what are running prices on those?

They wanted $3100 for the male only Rufus. Let me know if u can get me some females and I'll have u send to Sealife

I was offered a pair for $4k in early December. My LFS was getting them from QM. As I recall they had two males and three females. I'm kicking myself for not getting a female.

That part is actually funny, the Lfs that I use to frequent the most offered them at 4 grand, Elos offered them at 8 grand. Neither store actually had them in their possession. The pair was at Quality Marines facility waiting for a buyer.

 

[jaa1456]

Although I heard Elos started off at 12 grand but I can't confirm that, it was at 8 when I was asked.

I always have to chuckle at the pricing differences for cirrhilabrus between here and the US. The last pair I saw, just after Koji had his second set, was at $4500 for the pair. I passed on them. I want three females if I can get them but we'll see. it at least seems that Asia pricing is better than the US (this time)...

Earlei here are expensive. I just paid $1700 for a pair... Ugh...

Both markets will milk it for whatever they think they can get.

This is the male I was offered as part of a pair. Did not get a pic of the female. . I'm happy the learn that my LFS offered them at a fair price.

 

[WayneL333]

If these offerings were like 3 months ago, I think everyone here got offered the same Claire from Quality. They had a trio for awhile.

 

[jaa1456]

I'm not 100% sure it's the same trio! unless one female turned male over the past two months. Only reason I say that is because a pair was offered or a single male was also available.
