for a cheap one...
AW2x2 said the nice ones are at least 1100$+

Juvenile Hawaiian. With the coloration of that one, etc. I'd guess under 20" long.
Here's my 32" female...thicker than a beer bottle...

I picked her up 3 - 4 years ago, I believe...can't remember exactly. She was about the same length, but not nearly as fat. Also, her "horns" had been bitten off and it took almost a full year for them to grow completely back.
Price wise...I bought her, a 15" Volitan and a 10" Porc all at the same time, from a guy in Chicago. Let's just say it was the deal of the century...under $500 for all three fish.
