I don't recall seeing these before but if they are'nt too hard to come by I may be getting back into saltwater.

Hi. They're an uncommonly collected b.fly. They're relatively expensive, usually $300-$400 per fish. They're not as easy to care for as some other some of the other species from the subgenus Roa, such as the Tinker's, Declivis, and Burgess butterflies.
