The adult is large but colours not too bad - pink, blue, yellow, black. The juv is certainly cool with the pink.

beautiful Serranus tico. A small sized basslet that attains max size in the wild at 7-8cm. the beautiful rusty head and white stripes + small size would make this a highly desirable aquarium fish.

it is endemic to the eastern pacific isla del coco. i had initially thought it was the indian ocean cocos (keeling) island where joculators are found, but it turned out to be a different cocos island. did you know there are five kinds of cocos islands? amazing.

so S. tico is out of reach.

beautiful hotumatua angelfish photographed in the wild.

It is an easter island endemic. the corresponding rare endemic butterflyfish there is the litus butterflyfish.

beautiful semifasciatus angels in the wild.

they are now flooding the market and are less hard to find than before.

[yikai]

semi angels are often found close to melanospilos, and hybrids are bound to occur.

here are some very ugly, but rare hybrids. these are females.

Is this angel avalible in singapore before?

Is this angel avalible in singapore before?

This is a moderately rare fish that appears from philippine shipments. It is moderately rare because it is seasonal. It can go missing in the trade for years but then appear one day and flood the market when in season. It has been appearing in singapore in large numbers in the past few weeks

extremely jealous.

jake adams is recounting his travel to mauritius with me and he mentioned seeing this fish while snorkeling.

WHAT!?

Chrysiptera annulata is a very beautiful "polyzona" damsel. i want one!

snorkel depth - very shallow

damsel - easy to catch

mauritius - we have shipments from there

so that's 3 strikes! i must get one one day!

[yikai]

koji caught another kamoharai for a U.S reefer who requested for one 2 years ago
