Digiman Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Leoparda? Or another species of canthigaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Reefer yikai Posted August 1, 2011 Senior Reefer Share Posted August 1, 2011 Leoparda? Or another species of canthigaster? it's the rarer species Canthigaster tyleri. C. leoparada is a pacific species. in the indian ocean (except xmas island), no leoparda is found but this very similar one replaces leoparda. and it's C. tyleri can be found from maldives and mauritius shipments.

Digiman Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 its even more gorgeous than leoparda! and rarer! omg i want it But it is too rare. So many maldives shipment but never ever saw one! Maybe one day it'll pop up as a huge surprise at one of the LFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one day it'll pop up as a huge surprise at one of the LFS. i dnt believe it's rare. just maybe not targeted for collection since it's a toby. but maybe uncommon in the wild also. or deepwater or watever reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 i dnt believe it's rare. just maybe not targeted for collection since it's a toby. but maybe uncommon in the wild also. or deepwater or watever reason Tyleri is shallow water. Most probably it is uncommon in the wild and also divers in maldives do not target collect toby as they usually catch the more popular like dracula goby, regal angels, sunset anthias, mitratus butterfly etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonioplectrus hispanus (spanish flag) comes from extreme depth (300 to 400 ft) and sighting and catching a small one is v v rare. Polleni grouper is deep but is only about 100ft deep and is no where as rare or as deep as spanish flag. Comparing a polleni grouper to a spanish flag is like comparing a magnifica firefish to a helfrichi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
