Ive seen singles as low as $500 recently, or as high as $900. It all depends on the source, and conditioning.

They were running $899 on DD recently

I got mine from the DD at Live Aquaria several months back. He cost me 939.98 shipped.
I can tell you that that was the best $940 that I have put into my tank. These fish are amazingly colored, and over time develop quite the personality.
Here is mine:
These fish are actually very hardy and feed very well, provided they are collected properly. As they are a deepwater fish, they can have problems associated with decompression. If you decide to get one, buy from a reputable source (i.e. Live Aquaria). Yes the fish will cost you more, but you are getting a specimen that was captured properly and has already be acclimated to a captive environment.

I saw that last night. They sold along with one of the other Liopropomas that has been there for a while.

Mine seems to be out more after the addition of a couple Wrasses, one of my favorite fish.

I <3 Corals!
just make sure you cover every inch of the tank... someone on another forum recently lost theirs to jumping through a covered tank - found a little hole between the cover and the filter it seems
I heard they weren't jumpers. I may need to rethink getting one

I have had no issues with mine jumping. For the first week I kept a sheet of lexan over the tank just to make sure he was settled in. But I have had him for several months with no issues.

I HAD a L. swalesi which jumped after about 6 months from my previous 160 G open top reef
I did buy a pair of carmabi's last week here in the Netherlands (not from DD) and keep my tank protected from jumping... Hope to be able to take a picture of my pair soon! Saw them together last night for the first time:inlove: In the picture you can see them in their bucket: I let them decide when to swim out, they took their time :wavehand:
I would definitely NOT keep Liopropoma's in an open top tank, sooner or later they will jump.
