OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!


Recommended Posts

Mauritius Gem tang. This fish will always remain the most expensive of all tangs.

In captivity the gem tangs tend to lose its spots and turn to stripes and become less nice, probably due to diet. V hard to keep the beautiful spots.

Something is not right with this randall's anthias. The dorsal fins should not be yellow!

Ya my bad. Should be resplendent anthias and not randall anthias. I always mix up the two.

The fin is too yellow even for a resplendent anthias.

Thanks for sharing these vids!

I love the cook island vids. THe helfrichi are the purple head variants, and they grow much bigger than the yellow head ones.

The anthias resembles P.Taeniatus from redsea but is obviously not. I remember there's a sp. closely related to taeniatus. The anthias book at CF featured it i remember. Will check it out next time i visit CF.

It is yellow head variant? I cant see the colors at all in the vid but can tell the size is v big.

It is not shot in cook? No wonder it looks so shallow. In cooks it should be found only much deeper.
