Not a a C. declivis... It is a C. flavocoronatus... I think never came to SG before.. The difference between Declivis and Flavocoronatus is the 2nd yellow band... Declivis lack the 2nd yellow band..

Swallowtail x Lamarck? Female fish?

It is a black spot x Lamark but dunno the sex since it is the only one caught.. Should be female.. Anyway most hybrid are infertile one if not wrong..

Yes, C.Abei is gorgeous, markings resemble the heavenly rare chaetodontoplus ballinae, but a miniature version. Can only dream of this kind of fish, even japanese cant get.

This is chaetodontoplus ballinae (i call it panda fish, a protected species like panda):

Infertile, is it tat's why hybrid is rare as they dun reproduce again. But there are some hybrids that interbreed and carry on the lineage, like the townsendi angel. Also, two hybrid lemonpeel will interbreed to produce an aberrant lemonpeel which is gorgeous in pattern.

This is the only C.Abei in Waikiki Aquarium if not wrong... But I think not there anymore..

C. Ballinae is a beauty too.. But we can only admire the photos online...

I think it is really a bare minimum of the the hybrid can reproduce and carry on the lineage...

[Digiman]

Haha u find it ugly? Ballinae is almost a national treasure like panda already. There are only stamps and museum figurines of this fish. No captive records of the fish and it's definitely illegal to own one!

Yes townsend looks v similar to blue angel and loses shine compared to queen angel, tat's why it din receive much popularity.
