I hope it is not one of those horrible things which fish shops do to sell the fish...

Like the parrot and luohans...

hw did u get it?

The tail is either been biten off by other fishes or cut away by the LFS, like those FW parrot fish.

Saw another one at LCK110 today as well. Its on the big tank on the left as you walk in.... unique indeed... more "clowny" as it needs to wriggle more to balance itself...

I got it still "hot" from the cargo while it is being unpacked. There is only one among the lot of perculas that has arrived. Thus, the chances of it being cut by human means is almost nil - couldn't have recovered so quickly during shipment. I suspect that it could be natural defect, or as nutx has mentioned that it's tail could have been bitten off by other fishes when young. These conclusions are all based on the fact by looking at the tail's outline.
