Rare Yellow Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish

[DisturbedReefer]

I picked this little one up from Indoor Reef this past Saturday. From an article in Reefkeeping "The rare yellow form of a dwarf fuzzy lionfish. According to Michaels, this color morph is located in one central location: the straits of Lembah. This fish commanded a $350 USD price tag." They (Indoor Reef) didn't order it as a special morph just got lucky and it showed up in a regular shipment. This beaut is a great addition to the two Radiata lionfish I already have. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure...

No, I didn't pay $350

Well since you can't find another one of those and probably wont see one in the state for some time I would say it is priceless.

He is only about 2" long, still eating only live (like his tankmates).

Doing great! The others (2Radiatas, 1PBT, 1CBB) all act as if he has been there all along.

Looks gorgeous and I'm not one who normally likes the dwarf lions of that species. You're really making me jealous what with the two radiata's and the new yellow dwarf lion....

Can ya post some new pics of the Radiata's?
