Cost of living is so high in Japan, for fishes like wrought iron found abundant in their own water they are also paying upward of 1k for the fish. But something weird is they typically pay more for a 5" wrought than a 5" interruptus but when they export, interruptus costs more than wrought.

H.Vivanus is not newly discovered. The japanese have been getting these deepwater carribbean anthias together with the other very deepwater carribbean beauties like Pronotogrammus martinicensis and Gonioplectrus hispanus.
