By worth, ecological( Your personal thought) or commercial?

Halichoeres wrasse: $40 (ouch!). Needed it though.

Worth: Priceless, as I watch it eat the AEFW in my QT system :D

[snorvich]

Peter, do these really eat AEFW???

[SDguy]

At least when there is nothing else in the tank except eggcrate and acros....yes.

[BangkokMatt]

Not really clear on the "How much are they worth" question (I don't live in the US) but I will say what I have payed for a few fish over the past 12 months or so.

McCoskers male flasher - $6
Pair of Blackspot Swallowtails (Genicanthus melanospilos) $50
Rosie wrasse - $24
Large goldflake angel - $220
Girdled wrasse (Cirrhilabrus balteatus) - $60

three firefish for 20 dollars, would have paid about 70 for all three
purple tang for 49 dollars b/c he had HLLE at the store, but cleaned up after a month in my tank.

Foxface Lo: $40,$ 60 awesome algae eater. Fun to watch

Sixline: $20, $80 Great looking fish, mine is a peaceful one, and I have some peace in mind against the fact of coral parasites.

Coral Beauty: 24, 24 It is a cool fish but really doesn't have its own personality and is fairly secretive. Considering our hobby is based on the attraction own organisms bring

Percula Clown: Free, $30. The fact they are the generic fish in the hobby doesn't decredit this fish whatsoever. It is a awesome fish by standards of color, personality, and behavior.

Red Spotted Hawkish: 12, 25 Awesome fish extremely fun to watch.
