Nice pickup!!!
I haven't brought it home yet. I'm going back next week to pick it up. Brian did put some krill and octopus in there to show that it was eating.
I really liked the crosshatchs he had there, more so then the Greeni. He had a beautiful mated pair there that he was gonna give me at a steal but they two were just to big for my 180. He also had a 3" crosshatch that hadn't gotten its mature colors yet that I almost bought.

So I ended up changing my mind today when I went to pickup the Greeni at Reefwise. That and I brought the girlfriend and she felt the same way I did. We both liked the Crosshatch Triggerfish more then the Greeni. So, Brian was nice enough to let me change my mind and sold us the Crosshatch pair and kept the Greeni. On top of that, I got a beautiful bonded pair at a steal of a price.
So, if your interested in a rare and beautiful Greeni Triggerfish I know Brian had got a couple of nice ones at Reefwise.
I'll post some pictures of the pair once I get them acclimated and they get settled in their new home.

awesome choice. I was gonna tell you ' the crosshatch is a better choice', but I didn't wanna rain on your parade 
I'm glad you switched over!
My crosshatch is already eating NLS pellets. I was concerned because he only ate silversides since I got him and I didn't think silversides had all the nutrition he needs. Here's mine:

Nice fish, just to clarify its Xanthichthys greenei which is commonly called the Kiri trigger. It also gets significantly larger than 6". Pacific Island Aquatics had one at 7" a while back and they will max out at around 9"-10". My favorite trigger by far. I wish I still had a tank set up to house it!
Here is the reefwise fish, listed on ebay for $598:

The name was changed in September from Kiri to Greeni to represent the diver that made the discovery in 2005, Brian Greene. Some other interesting things listed in the article as well. They won't get up to 9-10" though according to the article, especially in a home aquarium.
