Digiman Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Ok have to keep this hybrid thingy going: Maze Angelfish or also known also as orange-face angelfish (Chaetodontoplus cephalareticulatus syn.chrysocephalus) Thought to be hybrids of Blue-line (C.Septentrionalis) with Gray Poma (C.Melanosoma) or Blue-Line with Blue-Spotted (C.Caeruleopunctatus). Every maze angels are different and unique in terms of the scribbled stripe patterns and body colours etc and the more hybrid qualities it shows the higher the cost of the fish (anything from $500 upwards to $2000). These beautiful maze angels are only found in small area of Taiwan's reefs and as such has never been seen in Singapore because our LFSs dun bring in Taiwan shipment. Below are the 3 species (all of which are commonly found in our LFSs and u should know which are which) responsible for the hybridization: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 And now the maze angels: This one is beautiful but shows more blue-line qualities and less hybridization and hence will be cheap and most probably below 1k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Reefer yikai Posted December 10, 2009 Senior Reefer Share Posted December 10, 2009 omg marginalis. one of the reasons why i started this hobby. all time favourite. the ones with the complete lack of band with an exposed silvery body looks best IMO.
