Senior Reefer yikai Posted June 3, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted June 3, 2010 haha. i won't spoil the answer for you guys. let you all play i will spoil the last 1 though. nemateleotris helfrichi (cook island variant) scientific name is wrong though. should not be labelled N. cf. helfrichi. "cf" only used when the organism is unidentified but looks like a given one. in this case, it is helfrichi so, no need the cf. happy guessing on the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Din check where are they located.. LOL.. Hai, Bro Terryz, Ya.. they r confirm from Polynesia... so Cooks island and Tuamoto islands is correct? But not sure about Ryukyu islands.. But I think I saw some source suggested no 5 Helfrich's from Ryukyu and Indo before as well.. But I dun think Indo is right? Ryukyu probably need more studies (I think possible cause Ryukyu quite close to Micronesia)....But Polynesia is confirm Lets try others..... Cheers and Happy IDing.....
