Iwarna : plenty of red saddle back, some panda goby and think very few pygmy hawk fish. some eels, corals kinda limited.

pinnacle quite empty.

red saddle back, FYI for those who dunno, is not the tiger queen anthias, but the flavoguttatus anthias.

Pseudanthias flavoguttatus.

anyway the flame hybrid at reborn is NOT a hybrid. i've seen it, and its just a flame angel with a very very abarrent colour pattern. it's very rare to find something like that, but unfortunately, not a hybrid. but i got it anyway. so it's not there anymore.

The lemonpeels with the blue spots are not hybrids but juveniles.

Looking for sea hare, preferably not too big (< 3").

don't count on it. they are super rare.

true hawaii flames have lesser bars too. 3-4 usually

here's another one for reference. true hawaiian flame being cleaned by a hawaiian cleaner in hawaii.

Bro, no offence, but it looks like a "lak sek" flame angel to me Jokes aside, I find it pretty unique though and I think alot of hybrids actually look a shade more pale or more dull in color than the true breeds.

oh i don't take offence to things like this.

unlike many people, i prefer flames with lesser bars. the lesser the better. my taste is different and i can't expect everyone to share the same taste as me

when judging hybridisation, alot of factors other than colour play apart.

anyway, it's a nice fish and i like it alot.

Wat is long tail Wrasse n Red striped tigar Wrasse? Any pic to show?

[yikai]

Wat is long tail Wrasse n Red striped tigar Wrasse? Any pic to show?

the extremely rare yet to be properly named pintail fairy.

Cirrhilabrus cf. lanceolatus. this is just a temporary scientific name and will be named by dr. senou soon

this fish is super rare and may only come once in a lifetime

it could also be Cirrhilabrus roseafascia (roseafascia wrasse), or the true japanese lanceolatus wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lanceolatus), or the extremely rare never before captured anywhere in the world purple boned fairy wrasse (Cirrhilabrus blatteus).

Blatteus is highly unlikely. there's no record of any live specimen captured before.

lanceolatus is also very unikely. it's extremely rare even in japan and only 1-2 specimens caught at any one time.

roseafascia is quite likely. common.

the pintail, cf. lanceolatus, is also more likely since it's more common than all 4.

all 4 above have long tapering sword like tail and are all known as long tail wrasse in one way or another.

my guess will be the pin tail or roseafascia.

[bigbird]

Don't mention bro. Hope my ID is right.

[yikai]

vt snowman,

like big bird said. it's not a chelmon mulleri, they only come from australia. that one is a coradion melanopus.

the red head wrasse is not an anampses, but a Halichoeres chrysocephalus.

and the goby is Valenciennea helsdingeni
