Senior Reefer yikai Posted October 10, 2013 Senior Reefer Share Posted October 10, 2013 Isnt this flavogattus anthias?a similar species found in new caledonia. probably started out as a geographic variant but developed distinct DNA over time. it's currently undescribed but recognized as a new species. the original collectors were quality marine. it is now tentatively labelled as Pseudanthias sp, and known as sunrise anthias. it is similarly colored and belongs in the lori-flavoguttatus. the female form is distinctly different from P. flavoguttatus.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted October 11, 2013 Senior Reefer Share Posted October 11, 2013 some pics of the nahackyi angelfish recently photographed and video in hawaii. Nahackyi angel is endemic to johnston atoll, a military base where no collection is allowed. however very rarely, they are swept in their larval stages to hawaii as waifs and settle there. there have been isolated documented occurences of nahackyi angels living in hawaii, and this is one of them. there are a handful around there and bruce carlson found some there too. anyway this one was found in a no collection zone in hawaii, so only pics. gorgeous isn't it?

Body of a joculator and an extremely defined cap of a multi-colour nahackyi angelfish is such a handsome species. the crown is many times bigger and more defined than multicolor. and you are right the body is that of joculator! nahackyi, hotumatua and colini are my 3 favorite centropyge, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
