Whose gonna buy this DD beauty???

I can tell you from personal experience owning 3 of these fish that they are every bit worth the money.

If it were only easy to describe, how so?

Honestly, I'm very curious.

Satisfaction of knowing you have a fish that is worth as much as a vacation... LOL

Thy are extremely active even more than tangs
(every time you look in the tank you will see it and look like iron )

Wrought irons are very cool. I brought in a few 2" wroughts a while back. They were awesome at that size, but very very expensive...

Don't know I would do if I lost a $2700 fish!

Any time when I buy a fish or a coral, I've considered the money lost before I lost the fish/coral. I have fully anticipated the fish/coral will not make it. And I feel bad about the money for the first couple of days and that feeling will go away fairly quickly.

And if I lost a fish / coral after a certain period, I usually feel bad about the animal itself but not the money.

No thank you

I don't think this fish warrants a $2,700 price tag, I like rare fish too but that's crazy for a not so good looking fish.

Looks play a very small roll in the price of rare fish.

if you've got the cash flow and are absolutely confident you can keep a rarely collected deep water specimen alive and thriving for many years (hopefully close to its average lifespan in the wild, which no one probably really knows), then why not? i'm not sure i can fulfill the latter, although I frequently daydream about it with my new Elos 120XL aquarium that is currently sitting in my living room and designing a reef around a lone wrought-iron butterfly.
