This is not really rare. It is one color form of coral beauty and occasionally found in our shipment. Some said it is a deepwater form, but i dont think so. But anyway this washed out color form is not very attractive and as such the price of this fish is usually the same as a normal coral beauty one. -

This is a normal maroon clownfish. Maroon clowns can show an "angry" color which will make its body slightly darker. But in this pic the black is abnormally dark, so its most likely a photoshopped effect. -
To those reefers who were confused. Emblemaria Hypacanthus (common name Gulf Signal Blenny) A mexican fish that is not available in the market. A few yrs ago i tried to get from Dejong Marine but to no avail. If available will be an inexpensive fish. Emblemaria Pandionis (common name Atlantic Sailfin Blenny) Readily available from carribbean shipment. Also an inexpensive fish. So if u r looking for hypacanthus it will be a long wait but most likely never going to happen. But if u want pandionis it is readily available. Hope this clarifies.

Mystery Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus ocellatus)
Digiman replied to serravorte's topic in General Reefkeeping_
Extremely rare deepwater morph of mystery wrasse from Tahiti. It is more golden yellowish in color and is caught at depth over 300 ft! As a comparison, our normal mystery wrasses are collected at 100 ft depth or shallower. -

Nice! Not a commonly seen fish. A more legitimate common name would be whitetail Bristletooth tang. It is neither a variant nor aberrant of the hawaii endemic kole tang. It is a completely different species of its own and its scientific name is Ctenochaetus flavicauda. C.flavicauda has quite a widespread range from west pacific all the way to redsea and africa but mainly comes from christmas and tahiti collections. C.strigosus (or your normal kole tang) is on the other hand found only in Hawaii. Shown below is a C.flavicauda from Tahiti Shown below is the commonly available C.strigosus from Hawaii In case anyone is confused, there is also another rather similar whitetail tang known as Tomini Tang (Ctenochaetus Tominiensis) from our indo-pacific region. -

very interesting fish and very unusual aberration. i would guess coral beauty aberrant. Thanks for sharing! I hav not watched this vid before. Indeed a very rare butterfly in the hobby but abundant in their natural habitat. It shows the natural habitat of the falcifer butterfly and tells us this fish is not to be kept in a normal reef tank setup if it ever will become available. -

Liopropoma Flavidum Price: Unimaginable! Care: Easy and hardy. A small basslet that can be trusted with some bigger ornamental shrimps. Where to find: So far only one known live specimen is kept in Japan long time ago. Fish caught at 60 m depth. No other information available. Only live pic of a flavidum (A full neon yellow liopropoma! I can't even imagine such a fish exists!) -
