Obliquus is one of the deeper inhabitant in St Paul's. Getting there is already a logistics nightmare and not to mention diving deeper and catching one.

These are ultra rare hybrids!

Attach the photos here to archive it in case Waikiki change their website in future.

Juvenile clarions flooding the whole world. It's great to see them being collected smaller.

Lemon there is an anthias in tat collection bottle in tat second pic. Wat is it? Looks a bit like a tosanoides!

I think it is female P. hutomoi. but i am also not sure.

Lemon,

have Luiz shared the picture of new cirrlab with you?...how does it look..?.. :superman:

Hi Aray,

no Luiz did not tell me. i also do not know what it looks like or what kind of Cirrhilabrus it is. for all we know it's the philippine pylei getting an official description.

There is 2 actually, could be female hutomoi as the one at the bottom of the bottle exhibit the white spots below the dorsal fins that hutomoi have when stressed..

I visited BlueHarbour and Osaka aquarium last week and I thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Here is a sharing of my trip.

Not fish. But when i entered the shop, Koji just received a box of deepwater inverts from the local fisherman. Trawled up from 200m deep japan water, these creatures need to be kept at 18 degree to survive.

Giant Isopod and hermit crab
