They are beautiful fish. Theres rumour of a ban on fishing them from the Red Sea so therefore prices have rocketed as of late. I have seen them varying from £75 - £250. I think a shop could charge pretty much what they wanted ATM.

I would make sure that you have seen it eating first, just to make sure. Make sure it isn't just picking at its food. They are fairly uncommon however they have appeared all over the place since this ban rumour as shops are advertising elsewhere a lot more because they know people will want them.

For that size I think you would expect to pay best part of £100 or slightly more. It varies though. I can only judge that on the prices I have seen myself for that size. Have seen 6-7inch at around £185 and 3-4 at around £85ish.
