New Cuban Royal Gramma?

[brett559]

What do we think about this new guy?

Here's an article about it.

Not sure I'd pay $5,500 for a Royal G.

Completely different species, unfortunately I doubt Cuban exports will rise anytime soon.

Yes, Gramma dejongi is an entirely different species and not a Royal Gramma (G. loreto).

The embargo applies only to the US. Pretty much everywhere else you could import them legally. They are available in Europe via De Jong Marinelife. But supply is quite limited and prices of wild caught are likely even higher than of these tank bred.
