What the heck? Maculosus/koran hybrid?!

TheSaltwaterGuy · #3 09/14/2007, 03:02 PM

Yeah, its got to be some kind of hybrid, maybe a Asfur/Koran hybrid? Who knows, looks pretty dang cool though.

Cool angel! Is it yours? How much did you pay for it? It actually looks like a asfur/koran hybrid!

SDguy · #5 09/14/2007, 04:20 PM

Irregular, loosely spaced dark scales on forehead, and the yellow patch is too far back for an asfur.

Whatever it is its beautiful!!!!

scchase · #7 09/14/2007, 04:38 PM

I agree with the mac/Koran Hybrid just doesnt have the Asfur look to it plus the super long stramers seem to be most common on macs.

No, it belongs to a person I have been talking to in Japan named jan-one. He asked what it was. I guessed it was a blue angel, but you guys are saying different. This is his FO tank.

waterfaller1 · #9 09/14/2007, 04:49 PM

This is his reef

His gorgeous snowflakes

And the cutest, smallest, red sea regal I've ever seen...

SDguy · #10 09/14/2007, 05:08 PM

I see he's just barely scraping by

Gorgeous tanks!!

waterfaller1 · #11 09/14/2007, 05:35 PM

Yeah right? I was thinking the same, wow..what does this guy do for a living? He has some other sweet fish..like....

and..

and get a load of this bad boy...

SDguy · #12 09/14/2007, 05:44 PM

Yeah, I noticed the africanus in one of the earlier pics.

I don't even know what that is....is that a coral?...something's weird with the pic

waterfaller1 · #13 09/14/2007, 06:09 PM

Some kind of mushroom, under actinics.

Oh, LOL, I thought it was like some weird paroda coral 7" across

Funny what your eyes can see without a size reference

Kahuna Tuna · #15 09/14/2007, 10:41 PM

Wow, nice looking fish. I agree with the koran/mac hybrid ID. That guy has some seriously nice fish and corals.

coryjac0b · #16 09/14/2007, 11:23 PM

wow, the price tag of just 4 of the fish in his FO tank, is well over $4000, the 3 Chaetodon daeldama, Wrought Iron Butterfly, and then the Conspic Angel trailing right behind them. Almost makes we wish i lived in japan.

amphirion · #17 09/15/2007, 08:19 AM

That is awesome! I can't believe that this guy has 3 iron butterfly, they just seem so rare! All these beautiful angels... and the RS regal is too cute!

Vili_Shark · #18 09/15/2007, 11:17 AM

Its a maculosus x semicirculatus, didnt know that Japan is interested in this fish.
HKG is the main market for this fish in insane prices.
Its coming from Kenya.

waterfaller1 · #19 09/15/2007, 11:47 AM

Correction on the location, I said Japan when in fact he is in Hong Kong. My mistake.

scchase · #20 09/15/2007, 02:06 PM

I was wondering were it came from their ranges dont overlap a whole lot.

Kahuna Tuna · #21 09/15/2007, 03:20 PM

I think Vili is right on with Kenya as the location of those mac/koran hybrids, their ranges overlap there.

Sheol · #22 09/15/2007, 10:31 PM

Holy Rhodactis Batman! How does he keep anything in that tank with all those corallimorpharians??!

I wonder if Daedalma butterflies are cheaper in Japan?

The hybrid cost him probably more than the butterflys mentioned + Conspic combined.

JamesJR · #25 09/16/2007, 07:31 PM

Yeah no doubt. But who knows, sometimes you get lucky.
