blackaxil chromis

[Dr_Tang]

look exactly like blue green reef chromis but have black under their pectoral fins....my question is, how rare are they in the trade? blue green chromis are very abundant but black axils seem to be rather rare. Also what kinda prices do they usually go for? 4 bucks like the blue green or more?

Chromis atripectoralis .... while not as common as Chromis viridis, it's still a fairly common species (in nature as well as in this hobby) and the prices I've seen for them is exactly the same as C.viridis. I don't think collectors, wholesalers, or most retailers differntiate Chromis when they sell them.
