Plectranthias winniensis.

A v rare plectranthias. Collected from hawaii it sells for S$4500.

But can also be found in Japan waters and it costs about $500. Although they labelled those caught in Japan as Plectranthias Sp., but i cant see any difference between it and winniensis.

The photo posted is one that was labelled plectranthias sp. and costs 28350 yen (approx S$500).

BH previously had winniensis from hawaii for sale and sold them at 298000 yen each (approx S$4500).

Do a search on this thread of winniensis for more photos and see if u can find any difference between winniensis and the sp.
