Gorgeous mesoleucos butterfly, from the pic looks like a nice size too. Elongatus is a rare anthias from japan. Taiwan may be catching these anthias but they dun sell cos most likely those caught are by the local fishermen and the fish cannot be eaten so will be thrown back to the sea. The only rare fish i saw in Taiwan is C.Auripes. And i can see them everywhere in restaurants and fish markets. But not in LFS! The local fishermen catch groupers and other food fish and will accidentally catch some auripes and will jux dump them all into their tanks or tubs. They dunno auripes are rare in other parts of the world! Even the marine LFS in Taiwan dunno, and their shops only sell cheap indo fishes cos taiwan reefing community is v small, much smaller than singapore according to the LFS owner.
