Shipping differs by vendor (free-shipping thresholds, flat overnight rates) and can change which vendor is cheapest to your door.

Reading today's numbers

Just 1 in-stock listing is priced today, at $164.99, so there is no spread to read — treat it as a single asking price rather than a market benchmark.

Only one of the vendors we track currently lists it, so this range reflects a single store's listings rather than a cross-vendor comparison — worth keeping in mind when judging the price.

A new fish cares most about being acclimated gradually to your tank's own water rather than dropped straight into it — shipping bag water is best kept out of the tank — and then about being offered food it will actually take. Chewy — a general pet retailer that sells no live coral or marine fish, and is not one of the vendors this index tracks — carries reef salt mixes, saltwater test kits, marine fish food, and coral and invertebrate food.

The market median for Stripey (Microcanthus) has changed 33 times in 119 days of tracking.
