Speckled Sand Perch

[Hypancistrus]

Looking for info on the Speckled Sand Perch, Parapercis hexophthalma. Saw a pic of this little nasty in Fenner's book, The Conscientious Marine Aquarist, on page 292. They look wicked cool... but I've not been able to find much of anything about them. I am guessing they are rarely, if ever, imported as well? Doesn't seem like many saltwater folks are into predatory species....

Anyone even heard of these, or have any info about them?

sometimes fish just aren't imported for the hobby. I'd like a whitespot grouper, but hey i dont think it will happen.
