the Conspic X Meredithi actually was discovered in the late 90's in the Great Barrier. Not one has been sent into the US, however these guys are caught once a year and sent to Asia. There has not been one caught now for about 2 years.

Or at least that we know of.

HK is the best market in the world for hybrids, better than Japan.
There's no set price for a hybrid, it all depends on how nice the fish actually is.

For example in the hybrids from Kenya, if a Maculosus x chyrsurus will show both nice chrysurus white lines and ear + the Mac big spot, then its a mega fish and will go for a huge price tag, usualy these are really rare, and if you really get a max x chrysurus you will have to guess where are the lines etc, they wont look so clear.

The conspic x meredethi I saw last year(I think I have a pic on my mobile) was sold when I got to the shop, it was only 4" healthy specimen that showed interest in anything, it went for 5 grands at the cheapest shop in HK, could have gone for double in other shops.

i believe the diver said they retail for 5-10k. The picture he sent me was a 12" monster. It was Gorgeous. I think he sold it for 3500 or something which would relate to about 10k after the mark up. definitely are beauty, and very rare what he tells me.

a 4" specimen must have been awesome to see!
