Jimmy Ma's 4.5 footer reef tank. A pity i forgot to take the video in high definition mode.

The noteworthy fishes are:

1. Aberrant white tang

2. Male genicanthus hybrid (melanospilos x bellus)

3. Female genicanthus hybrid (melanospilos x lamarck?)

4. Pellet eating ventralis anthias

5. Pellet eating aurulentus anthias

6. Tigerpyge pair

7. Grammica dartfish

Here is an amazing maculosus x koran hybrid angel i saw at one LFS (near Ngau Tau Kok MTR) during my HK trip.

This fish originally belongs to Jimmy Ma which he has donated to the shop as a show fish for their show tank after it outgrows his home tank.

And here is a video of the fish which the owner of the shop has kindly allowed me to take.

During my trip i also got a chance to visit coralfriend's place.

His tanks and fishes are already well documented however seeing the personatus up close in person was a breathtaking experience.

[Digiman]

And here are two videos i took of the personatus tank.

The tankmates of the personatus are debelius angel, basabei butterfly, flame boxfish and a suspected juvenile hybrid pomacanthus angel.

[Digiman]

Here are another two of his tanks. Both are big tanks.

First one houses a pair of spawning interruptus, wrought iron butterfly, fuscipinnis anthias, plectranthias pelicieri, fasciatus anthias,

Second one has a myriad of other fishes. Many are common but some rarer ones include giant clarion hybrid, spawning joculator pair and an aberrant black longnose butterfly that has revert to normal coloration.

Here are two amazing hybrid lemonpeels i got from HK vanuatu shipment.

Special thanks to Jimmy Ma for liaising with the shop and helping me to reserve and pack the fishes!

The aiptasia is an infestation. He needs help to control it. Anyone has a solution?

Yo, my matted filefish takes care of the aiptasia bloom.

he can try on copperbands until one clicks..or matted filefish...i had a pakistani butterfly once which clean out the rock..though afterward it started to taste mushroom,so i removed it...

but whenever i see his tanks,there are booming aipstasia...

Sadly these are extremely rare hybrids and are very difficult to obtain in sg.

I was lucky to have the help of a kind reefer (you know who you are haha) in order to get these rarities.

Please pm me regarding price matter.

Awesome photos of the brevirostris.

Awesome photos of the brevirostris.

one of my favorite deepwater chromis species and like its latin name brevi-rostris meaning short snout, it shows clearly the aptness of the name.

Beautiful fish. Has Chromis and damsel features in this fish. Wonder which character it is more likely to have.
