Flame hawkfish

[simms]

I am considering adding a flame hawkfish to my aggressive tank. when I looked at the price for the flames on this site and at my LFS, I was surprised at the cost.
My question- Why do flamehawks cost more than other fish (at my lfs = Flame hawks 45 vs Fuzzy lions 13)? Is it because they are rare? Is it because they are popular?
Does anyone have any experience keeping a flame hawk? Are your experiences worth the $?

Flame hawks are cool, but I think they are so expensive because they are probably the nicest looking hawk. Same goes for the flame angel. $20 more than most angels, just for beauty reasons. This is the same case for most hawks. Most hawkfish retail around $19.99 or $24.99.
Personally, I think hawks are great, but I don't see them being worth $45. I have an are eye hawk in my 75 that gets to be the same size as the flame and I think he is just as cool. He was $24.99. The are eye has a little more color than the flame, it's just the flame's body is a little brighter.
