I. didactylus out in the open.
 
Ya the guy was downgrading his tank and had to let go of alot of amazing fish. I knew the yellow variant was rare, how much does a full grown yellow usually run for?

The specimen we had our eye on was going for $400, unfortunately, The LFS lost it during treatment.
 
Wow $400? I had no idea. Mine is doing great, he does seem kinda big for my 29g but has already acclimated well and eats prepared foods. He took down my massive fire shrimp :hmm4: .

Greg, the guy I picked it up from told me it was a lionfish hybrid but I don't think so. Here are some better pictures, any input?

Where's he getting "hybrid" from? I'm not seeing anything unusual for a fuzzy...I even counted the fin rays.

As for the price tag of the yellow we had hoped to pick up, it was a pretty solid yellow fish...the pecs and the dorsal area pretty much down half the fish's height was bright yellow. It was a super pretty fish.
 
He told me it was a hybrid of a 'red' and 'yellow' lionfish, it just looked like a large yellow lion to me. Regardless the guys tank I got it from was stocked! It had the yellow lion, a huge wartskin frogfish, and a super rare Japanese deepwater hawk, and it was a reef too.
 
hey man i have one similar to yours. i got mine for $35

he was super small and definatly the runt of the ones that they had at the store

Awesome colors on that guy. You lucked out. Most wholesellers don't know better when they ship em' out but the yellow color is a rare and valuable variant.
