Digiman Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Here is an amazing maculosus x koran hybrid angel i saw at one LFS (near Ngau Tau Kok MTR) during my HK trip. This fish originally belongs to Jimmy Ma which he has donated to the shop as a show fish for their show tank after it outgrows his home tank. And here is a video of the fish which the owner of the shop has kindly allowed me to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 During my trip i also got a chance to visit coralfriend's place. His tanks and fishes are already well documented however seeing the personatus up close in person was a breathtaking experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 And here are two videos i took of the personatus tank. The tankmates of the personatus are debelius angel, basabei butterfly, flame boxfish and a suspected juvenile hybrid pomacanthus angel.

Digiman Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Here are another two of his tanks. Both are big tanks. First one houses a pair of spawning interruptus, wrought iron butterfly, fuscipinnis anthias, plectranthias pelicieri, fasciatus anthias, Second one has a myriad of other fishes. Many are common but some rarer ones include giant clarion hybrid, spawning joculator pair and an aberrant black longnose butterfly that has revert to normal coloration.

Digiman Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Very nice lemon peels! Can share how much u got them for? Do we have any such shipment into sg? Sadly these are extremely rare hybrids and are very difficult to obtain in sg. I was lucky to have the help of a kind reefer (you know who you are haha) in order to get these rarities. Please pm me regarding price matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Reefer yikai Posted December 8, 2013 Senior Reefer Share Posted December 8, 2013 Awesome photos of the brevirostris. one of my favorite deepwater chromis species and like its latin name brevi-rostris meaning short snout, it shows clearly the aptness of the name.

yellowtang Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 another 3 pictures of Chromis brevirostris in the wild, including a super small juvenile! Beautiful fish. Has Chromis and damsel features in this fish. Wonder which character it is more likely to have.
