Not v impressive looking but it may be becos tat piece in the photo looks unhealthy. It has a wide range but is a rarely collected fish. The piece in the photo was caught in hawaii and send to Japan. Again japan, anything rare goes to them first!

Here are two hogfish rarer den bodianus sanguineus:

Bodianus Opercularis (Mauritius)

Bodianus Masudai (Japan)

world's 3rd potteri x fisheri hybrid.

it may not be very beautiful but it's certainly extremely rare.

potteri and fisheri, although both are centropuge sp, belong in different complex

intra-complex spawning is rare .

I posted this photo before but i must post it again.

This is a super beautiful picture of two extraordinarily rare fairy wrasse.

the red one is Cirrhilabrus katoi, a japan endemic. Truly magnificent species and rare beyond words.

The other one is a yet to be described species often affectionally known as the "pintail" or "splendid" fairy wrasse. It's very similar to Cirrhilabrus lanceolatus, and is often conferred to it. Thus the temporary scientific name, Cirrhilabrus cf. lanceolatus.

Photos from Koji Wada, bluehabour Japan.

the one with the long tail?

if you're referring to that one then yes it's super gorgeous and it can also be found in Cebu, Philippines.

but our Philippine suppliers are all v lousy and cannot get it.

whatever is caught will go to U.S.A and Japan.
