Chaetodon daedalma.

the wrought iron butterflyfish. aptly named so for their incredible metal-like scales that resemble a shiny piece of chain mail swimming through the cool waters of japan. often swarm by the hundreds and divers call this event the "wrought iron ball".

the interruptus from Reborn is just simply gorgeous, and they are fat too! Really wish I can get 1, haha.

The wrought iron is bout 6 inch, 2 pcs there.

plenty of elegant blennies, and the cheery anthias are sweeee too!

LCK : the colors of the hooded is simply riotous ! colors seen on the screen are like the real life specimen. Best of all, most are feeding on pellets already! :yahoo:

Never have australian hooded wrasse appear in such large quanties and size before.

an aussy hooded coupled with the vanuatu one will surely stir up some excitement in your reef!

Hooded wrasse from Vanuatu has a starck red "hood" on an orange body, but has not made it's appearance for a very long time now. With vanuatu shipment recently continuing from it's long absence, we can hope to see this gorgeous fish soon.

Amazing how the same species from different location can produce variations with such vast differences.

always got another chance Lemon, fishes alway in. you know steven's pattern.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

got 3 variant of bathyphilus..

1st variant is the hooded with the bicolour deep red and orange body. this is my fav.

2nd variant from vanuatu has a hood also, but not so obvious and has a red streak extending to caudal penducle.

3rd variant is from aussy with no distinct hood, just a reddish head and orangy body, with also a red streak passing through the body.

2nd vanuatu variant look similar to aussy one, but they are different. that's why sometimes LFS confuse and call it vanuatu flame wrasse. but actually all are C. bathyphilus, just different morphs.

variant 2 and 3 look quite similar. my favourite is still the real hooded from vanuatu. i don't mind any of them but i want the real hooded the most.

The other "hooded" lookalike from Fiji region is the undescribed "nahackyi" wrasse. this is another one i'm waiting to see pop up mysteriously one day.

the bathyphilus complex is shrouded in much mystery especially from vanuatu, where there are a few undescribed species that look very similar to hooded. thus all the confusion.

The three photos shown below are the "known" variants for hooded. first one from vanuatu, 2nd one also from vanuatu and 3rd one from australia. variant 2 from vanuatu looks very similar to variant 3 from aussy. last picture shows the very rare undescribed nahackyi wrasse.
