flashing tilefish

[fishyheaven]

anyone have those? love to see some pics and anyone know if they school?

I saw some before at a local store and they did not school in that tank, more like swimming all over the place. They also have a very poor survival record from what i understand, not sure if they dont take shipping well or just very delicate fish. If i could get healthy established specimens i would be all over it, they are quite impressive. Pictures online or video dont do them justice, you have to see them in person.

Thanks for information I would love to see them in person but no good fish stores around me. I know they are hard to keep alive but they are too nice not to try.
