Nope, Still dunno how will this jawfish do in captivity, becos some jawfish are notorious for not feeding... Somemore it is $600...

We get it at the same price. About S$1200 each from M3 if u are ever interested.

L.carmabi is readily available now and i wont consider it a rare fish anymore, just expensive.

I like the blue eyelid.

But 1k for a chromis is a bit too much.

Not a bit too much, is tooooo much lor... But it is deepwater, what to do...

And it will never come to us anyway...

I've kept two equetus lanceolatus before. V difficult to feed, only eat live food for mine.

CF has an equetus acuminatus now.

Yes is mine and I got it from SL , I feed mine with pellet or frozen brine shrimp .

He eat like a pig n never get enough.

Happy Reefing
