Someone on reefcentral hand caught this Pseudanthias leucozonus off east Java!

according to hiroyuki tanaka who posted in that same thread,

"Unbelievable !

It is a young male of Pseudanthias leucozonus.

The species is just restricted to southern Japan; Izu Peninsula to Izu Islands only !

As far as I know NO Japanese aquarist has tried it yet ! "

if it's true he got it east java, maybe we could see this in future! it's spectacular and CHECK OUT THE TEETH!

[yikai]

Here's a better picture of the anthias. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! CHECK OUT THE TAIL!!!!

But if it is hand caught it should not occur very deep right? or am I wrong...Thinking would this be a one off incident?

not sure. should be hand caught but he didnt specify in the thread. it's not from a collector and i believe it's private collection.

yah shouldn't be too deep. i think it's a one off incident.

Hmm. But we dun really get java shipment often? or is it together with other shipment? Hoping we can see it soon..

maybe if it's around the area they just lump everything in one shipment. java is in indo afterall.

[yikai]

Yes, feeding on home bred juvenile percula clownfishes..

Now considering to sell it to make room for other stuff..

[Milch_Tan]

wow chio, is that a type of anthia? any chance of getting it in SG?

[yikai]

Pseudanthias aurulentus

Yes, it's an anthias and it hails from the central pacific. never see in SG before. it's quite rare and even if it comes to sg, it wont be cheap.

[Digiman]

nothing rare or anything, just a comparison between F. flavissimus and F. longirostris. the latter really has a MUCH longer snout! i seldom see F. longirostris being sold in LFS. and even if they do, usually not big enough to show the extreme length of the snout. shame.

Long snout reminds me of humming bird.

It may be a new species too! Dunno if the person caught it in deepdive or shallow. BTW there are no collection in Java right? Only Bali?

nice maroon. but not as nice as lightning ones.

Looks fake, like marker drawn.

what a cute sized specimen....

Sargassum trigger or the recently described Xanthichthys Dorsopunctatus from Christmas island?

Yes, feeding on home bred juvenile percula clownfishes..

Does the flame frogfish still has buoyancy problem as seen in RB? How big can it grow?

Hey! your back??

the frogfish is doing very well under joe's care and is feeding on baby clowns. he's considering selling it though.. -.-

you wan buy? lol

[Terryz_]

That should be a Sargassum trigger...

Xanthichthys Dorsopunctatus, the pattern on the body is different... It is not dotted...

Yes, temporary, leaving again in a week time.

Great to hear the nice little frogfish is doing well. I cant buy la, sure die in my hand one, somemore muz live feed so troublesome.

BTW where is our redsea pearlscale?!

[yikai]

anyway digiman, colinis coming tomorrow at iwarna. i think i might want to try 1 and keep at reefer's place for the time being. might stand a better chance if buy straight from shipment instead of letting them linger in a bare tank at LFS.
