Liopropoma aurora, Lipogramma robinsi, Odanthias fuscipinnis, Pseudanthias rubrolineatus, Roa excelsa, Plectranthias sagamiensis and Bodianus sepiacaudus. what an amazing collection of deepwater fish!

the aurora is so healthy with no decompression illness!

Does the mitratum n aurora look v alike ? I always fancy the mitratum for its peach body .

Maybe it's the dim lighting here

They look very different in my opinion.

Even size is very different. Mitratum stays small while aurora is a big basslet up to 6".

Lemon, apart from Phillipine,where else Venustus is collected...?..
No where else as far as I know. Unlike colini and multibar, venustus is not collet out outside of indo pacific. It is also not found outside that range.

Mitratum is a small species maxing at only 2 inch+ . Aurora is 6inch and very robust. Coloration is totally different as well
