SRC Member Tony Gill Posted February 26, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted February 26, 2014 digiman! ID for me pls Parkraemeria. This is the Japanese form of P. ornata. However, it doesn't look at all like typical P. ornata (from eastern Australia), and I understand that it is being described as a new species.

SRC Member Tony Gill Posted February 26, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted February 26, 2014 and what hawkfish is this! it's gorgeous! This isn't a hawkfish ... it's another triplefin. It looks familiar, but I don't recall the species offhand. It might be a species of Ceratobregma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Reefer yikai Posted February 26, 2014 Senior Reefer Share Posted February 26, 2014 Over the years as our fish IDing skills have improved, we've been able to go back and correct some of our initial mistakes or ID some of the initially in identified fish. However this one has remained unknown for the longest time. Tony if you could ID this it would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Reefer yikai Posted February 26, 2014 Senior Reefer Share Posted February 26, 2014 Here's the fish. It looks like a ptereleotris but we can't find a match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Tony Gill Posted February 27, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted February 27, 2014 Here's the fish. It looks like a ptereleotris but we can't find a match I think it is indeed a Ptereleotris, but it doesn't match any species I'm aware of. My guess is that it's a new species. It would be good to get specimens for study, and also to know where they were collected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Tony Gill Posted February 27, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted February 27, 2014 Rare australia brachiosaurus blenny brachio.gif Townsendi angel (blue x queen angel) The blenny is Omobranchus anolius. It occurs along the east coast of Australia, and is one of the commonest blennies in the Sydney area. It's almost always found around oysters, earning it the common name of oyster blenny. Males can get quite spectacular: http://www.fishesofaustralia.net.au/home/species/4742 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Tony Gill Posted March 4, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted March 4, 2014 Submarine caught fish in Curacao Malthopsis gnoma (Grotesque Batfish, 2") from 760 feet Malthopsis gnoma.jpg Lipogramma sp (< 1") from 600 to 800 feet Juvenile-Robin1-457x305.jpg This is how an adult of the above fish looks like BAR-1063_Lipogramma-457x303.jpg Hmm, it's been a long while since I loked at Lipogramma, but this one looks new to me. I found similar photos on other websites identified as L. robinsi, but that species has more 10-12 narrow bars on the body.

SRC Member Tony Gill Posted March 4, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted March 4, 2014 Deepwater Lubbockicthys sp. collected in Yap islands, Micronesia, at a depth of 180 feet. Lubbock.jpg See http://www.cabrillo.edu/~ncrane/ES%2010/Ulithi/Yap%20REA%20Fish%20Final%20Report.pdf for report. I have material of this species (which is indeed an undescribed Lubbockichthys) from lots of localities throughout the western Pacific. It actually gets fairly shallow (around 15 m or so).

SRC Member Tony Gill Posted March 4, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted March 4, 2014 not sure of the id. i think Halichoeres salmofasciatus. No, not a Halichoeres ... note the small scales. It's Coris dorsomacula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Tony Gill Posted March 4, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted March 4, 2014 Koji is sending these to U.S next week. the list is strange and consists of a baby modestus butterfly (highly desirable size), large interrupta angels, an auripes butterfly, a golden hawk. i don't know what the striped fish is and the filefish. digi, terry, care to help? The striped fish is Oplegnathus fasciatus. Not sure on the filefish, but perhaps Paramonacanthus pusillus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Tony Gill Posted March 4, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted March 4, 2014 I dun think this one below is a flammicauda. 14062006126uk.jpg Flammicauda pics flammi.jpg flammicauda.jpg So if u compare the weird dottyback above has different yellow pattern at both the caudal n head. Also the body and finnage shapes are also different. The one right above has more of a steenei shape than flammicauda. But i do not know what the first dottyback is either, cant find any similar in fishbase. The unknown is Pseudochromis dilectus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There appears to be some undescribed fish down in curaçao, including a cf. evides and a liopropoma cf. aberrans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
