I have seen these guys pop up on divers den and there is another today. What are they hybrids with? They don't really say on the web page.

It says under the scientific name, Acanthurus leucosternon x nigricans. Powder blue x goldrim

I'm more curious as to why yesterday's hybrid was $129, and today is $179.

Ah okay. I guess I need to learn the scientific names. I think yesterday's looked cooler. It was metallic like

Probably due to size. But I'm sure they probably raise a price or two when things sell fast.

The one yesterday was larger (and nicer IMO). When I got mine last fall they were $179, so I thought the lower price was seasonal until today. Not sure if there's a price-determining feature that I'm missing.

It was larger and cooler than today's for sure but it sold within an hour of being listed
