OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!

[Terryz_]

Yes, but the most sexual dichromatic pgymy is perhaps interruptus. There are variations in individuals and i guess lighting also cause a difference. Not many pics on the net for comparison though but i like it more orangy than blue. The female look like hotumatua.

Now that you mention it... It does look like Hotumantua.. Hehe..

[Terryz_]

I think only Interruptus and Debelius is sexually dimorphic..

Yes v rare, along with A.Guezei are two angelfishes that have never been kept before by anyone. But C.Ballinae are soon to be displayed in public aquarium for the first time.

Guess i'm asking too much. Lower my expectation a bit, i wan a pair of C.Tricinctus instead:

[Digiman]

Or maybe a pair of bandits or resplendens also can:

The rare C.Abei...

I find it quite nice...

There is also a Deepwater Chromis(Chromis Abyss) and a Butterfly(Cant really see it)...

[Digiman]

Back to some hybrid..

Dunno wat hybrid butterfly but look v interesting:

[Digiman]

The rare C.Abei...

I find it quite nice...

C.Abei is imo one of the nicest dwarf. Since it's found in our nearby waters, maybe one day can see it, when the fish decide to emerge from the v v deep!

[Digiman]

Post before but post again. A v orange coral beauty. Even more orange than the clarion beside it.

[yikai]

Back to some hybrid..

Dunno wat hybrid butterfly but look v interesting:

i agree with digiman! C. abei is super hot.

chromis abyss super nice!! and the name even nicer.

that butterfly looks like a burgess?

There is almost no info about this angel... Other than it is found at 100-115metre deep and found in Pulau,Indonesia,Sulawesi and Japan...

i agree with digiman! C. abei is super hot.

chromis abyss super nice!! and the name even nicer.

that butterfly looks like a burgess?

Not a Burgessi... Maybe Modestus?

[yikai]

Ya... Maybe Marcellae or Mitratus..

Longnose is nicer than copperband i feel..

longnose is nicer than copperband IMO. but copperband colour nicer.

anyway this pictures are from waikiki aquarium (i think)

so lucky to have all these rare angels.

[Digiman]

Not a Burgessi... Maybe Modestus?

That butterflyfish is an undescribed species which bear 99% resemblance to prognathode basabei from Hawaii. One was caught during the deep dive which collect the abei and the undescribed prognathode is still alive and on display in Waikiki Aquarium.

[Terryz_]

dunno.. the shape looks kinda diff.

Only got 2 distinct brown stripe.. and a eye stripe...

[Digiman]

wah really. you're amazing

I'm not amazing, i jux remembered these info when i read an article on Richard Pyle interview where he talked about the butterfly and C.Abei in his deep dive in Palau.
