Digiman Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Deepwater coral beauty. Actually i cant really tell wat's the diff between deepwater and normal coral beauty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Reefer yikai Posted March 16, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted March 16, 2010 Bingo. Japan, C.mirationis deepwater and C.okamurai very very deepwater. Both require very low temp and is never collected for the trade. Okamurai is probably second only to Chromis Abyssus in terms of depth and rarity! chromis abyssus. talk about the name being so descriptive!

Terryz_ Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Deepwater coral beauty. Actually i cant really tell wat's the diff between deepwater and normal coral beauty? The 'stripes' on the body... But the deepwater one looks like a malnutrition Coral Beauty, I see it quite often... LOL... Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digiman Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 ok first one i'm quite sure is B.masudai. 2nd one i dunno. First one is the true japanese B.Masudai. Second one is B.Paraleucosticticus. B.Masudai is very rare and the very few caught all stayed in Japan and never shipped out. It's very rare in its own habitat and is not to be confused with the more readily available peppermint hogfish (B.Sepiacaudus) from Indonesia. B.Paraleucosticticus is a rare and deepwater medium size hogfish maxing out at 4inches that is very under appreciated. It ranges from PNG to New Caledonia. Very hardy fish and beautiful but is considered not reef-safe. Not to be confused with B.Leucosticticus which grow huge. Both are my dream hogfish.

Digiman Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 That is quite ex... Maybe it is nicer in real life... Quite?! I think it's very ex. Can get a clarion with surplus enough for a conspic. However i cant deny the fact that hybrid like this has rarity way beyond clarion and conspic. Well let's hope some angel crazy big spender will buy this fish so that we can see it in person at RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuEl Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 are these common blue striped clownfish or some exotic hybrids? Amphiprion chrysopterus, white-tailed variant. Coralfarm has them from time to time, very touchy fish. They always appear healthy, until they get to your tank.
