Reading today's numbers
Just 1 in-stock listing is priced today, at $559.99, 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 Tilefish has changed 13 times in 55 days of tracking. Median shifts here usually come from vendor promotion events or the in-stock mix changing rather than gradual drift (how these prices actually behave) — genuine repricings land on the price drops page as we observe them.
