Reading today's numbers
Today's 2 in-stock listings sit in a fairly tight band, from $166.99 to $215.99, so the single vendor listing it prices it consistently, and the $191.49 median is a solid benchmark for its asking price.
Only one of the vendors we track currently lists it, so this range reflects a single store's listings rather than a cross-vendor comparison — worth keeping in mind when judging the price.
Keeping it alive once it arrives
Disclosure: the Chewy links below are affiliate links — if you buy through them we earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. This never affects the prices or vendor rankings above. Details.
A new fish cares most about being acclimated gradually to your tank's own water rather than dropped straight into it — shipping bag water is best kept out of the tank — and then about being offered food it will actually take. Chewy — a general pet retailer that sells no live coral or marine fish, and is not one of the vendors this index tracks — carries reef salt mixes, saltwater test kits, marine fish food, and coral and invertebrate food.
