Rare blenny in Japan!

Ecsenius Oculus (Rarely available, caught in Okinawa)

another rare japanese blenny! and a gorgeous one too! we need more exposure for shallow water japanese reef fish. only up till the recent year, the only exports from japan are the staple intteruptus and wrought iron butterflies. now the selection is better, and we can get lunatus fairy, assessor randalli, bellae goby and hopefully in future, kamohara fang blenny. but the japanese need to target more reef fish like like beautiful ecsenius, and i m sure there are many other gorgeous little fish that can appeal to the masses.

our love for japan fish does not encapsule tosanoides, lanceolatus and other super deep super rare fish. the divers should be more open to shallow reef fish! it's a new era liao they must get updated.

Two new Liopropoma Africanum in Japan

Came in through a Marshall Island shipment on 28th July 2013.

Fish is 7cm and was sold at 105000 yen at Japan Lagoona LFS http://lagoona.ocnk.net/product/2528.

Previous batch of fish from another LFS sold for 98000 yen.

So its en expensive pencil, but look at that fish! The electric blue! I want one!

Meiacanthus anema. the only brackish water meiacanthus and can survive in low salinity

This is in Sg already, swimming in Wilson's tank. A blenny that no one wanted to buy.

Always something more important than fish.

Koji is sending these to U.S next week.

the list is strange and consists of a baby modestus butterfly (highly desirable size), large interrupta angels, an auripes butterfly, a golden hawk.

i don't know what the striped fish is and the filefish. digi, terry, care to help?

luzonichthys waitei. lovely anthias that i remember we were all waiting to see, and we were disappointed when they eventually did appear at CF. not as colorful and v sensitive.

a pail of roseafascia. only dejong can pull this kinda stunt.

I want that stripe fish..

The filefish seems normal, except 2 which looks like a different species..

This is Bodianus tanyokidus. I noticed there aren't any photos of this species easily available on the internet. This is taken from Gomon's revision of the genus. Specimens are known from the Comoros Islands and Mauritius in the Western Indian Ocean and Okinawa in the Pacific. I can't find any depth records, but Gamon states it occurs deeper than B. opercularis (42-61 meters)... but hopefully not too deep for aquarium collection someday.

I first come across this picture of the tanyokidus when i was searching for the identity of my bodianus sp from Tahiti. While the colors of the two are quite similar (assuming the color of the dead fish above is accurate) the body shapes point towards different species. Locations where they come from are also different.

For comparison:

it looks like a cirrhilabrus, but no juvenile or female cirrhilabrus has this pattern or tail.
