any idea on their price range?

Yes some species are deep sea but it seems like this specific species does live in shalower waters as long as there are caves and overhangs enough in your system to hide in.

A friend of mine bought one to try and when the lights are turned on, it was blinded by it and kept swimming against the tank, darting around. This interesting fish should be kept in a dark enviroment as they are deep water fishes.

With the right environment, they feed quite easily.. but sustaining the bioluminous bacteria is the hard part.. I believe the part which lit up helps the fishes to get food at night and in the dark.. as mine always shine and flicker very brightly when they are feeding... but becos mine is a community tank though it is dimly lit, they still cannot make it long under community. Best is a dark species tank and they do well in groups of 5 and above..
