Senior Reefer yikai Posted July 27, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted July 27, 2010 I am not sure if this is a aberrant or it is morphing to male... Time will tell.. it's morphing... when i got it, the eye still had some black. now it's totally reduced to just a spot on the forehead. but the overall appearance still look super female and the body is still very white. let's hope the morphing stops there otherwise i will be forced to sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryz_ Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 yellow mask availability is quite random. Certain period of the year there can be quite a number of females appearing at one time but most of the time i agree we dun see them at all. Caudovittatus is rare, each time only one or two. Just be more patient, recently we've been seeing many unusual fishes which has never before appeared in our LFS history, so anything w a slight chance of possibility can now happen. Anyway here are three fishes i quite like. 1)Canary Damsel, this little jewel from cook island when are u coming to singapore? 2)Spotted hybrid lemonpeel, if vanuatu shipment is still around, this type of hybrids will be selling at a small fraction of the price of the so called ultra hybrid at RB recently. 3)Sailfin anthias (Rabaulichthys sp), awesome anthias imagine keeping a group, but looks quite delicate. I agree, sometimes we see them and sometimes we dun.. Sailfin anthias, never seen them before.. so can only hope it comes...

Senior Reefer yikai Posted July 28, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted July 28, 2010 omg pseudanthias leucozonus! http://reefbuilders.com/2010/07/28/pseudanthias-leucozonus/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 omg pseudanthias leucozonus! http://reefbuilders.com/2010/07/28/pseudanthias-leucozonus/ V nice. Who knows we may have gotten them in the past mix w tricolour anthias during bali shipment. The difference between leucozonus and tricolour is only most significant at the forehead.

Digiman Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Some pics from the net of some beautiful redsea fishes, many of which are endemics. I think most of us are quite familiar w the species, G.Caudovittatus, A.Bicinctus, C.Pauscifasciatus, Regal, Racoon, P.Octotaenia, Thalassoma Rueppellii.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted July 29, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted July 29, 2010 digi. this flame unique? bought it coz the bars resemble shepardi verrrrrrrry slightly. if not unique i'm going to re-sell at the price i bought it. the colour looks so red in the photo but i wish it was this red. it's just normal orangey red flame. actually it kinda look abitt like the fake shepardi, except for the thick ugly black first bar.

The black lines on the flame angel is like our human finger prints, every fish has different markings. This flame jux has a slightly more erratic black markings than usual. But to me it's jux another flame. It shows no traits of hybrid or rusty or shepardi angel at all. Also the nice thing about shepardi and rusty flame is tat they're a beautiful deep mango orange colour rather than a simple red of a normal flame. Tat's my personal opinion and u can disagree.
