I guess the thing the that intrigues me about the similarities between the clipperton and st paul angels is that both those localities are very isolated. It is conceivable to imagine that the clipperton island angels are the result of a few individuals or a small population of clarions or passers which became isolated in clipperton island and inbred to become the species we recognize today. The similar color forms of st pauls queens lends credence to this idea.
here are some gratuitous images for you to enjoy.

once you get to a certain level of rare, the only thing left to seek out is either mated pairs or natural hybrids. I am particularly a fan of the latter as they can vary greatly in appearance and so many hybrid individuals are more one-of-a-kind than the rarest of angels species.

nbd,
I suspect that at least the last three hybrids have been imported to Japan. See the web of a shop in Tokyo, and here is a photo of a hybrid angel sold there. http://www.reef-kuki.com/fishandshrimps1.html |

if you look on page three of reef kuki you can actually see the original image of the conspic hybrid. They also had this image of a fisher flame hybrid
 and I think the image Tanaka wanted us to see is the lemonpeel hybrid

I returned home last night; I took over 70 photos at one shop. I could not have seen any rare or unusual but some interesting species/ specimens to me. The shop seems one of the greatest one in Saitama Prefecture, just north of Tokyo, and I could see so many exotic butterflyfishes, angelfishes, anthias, wrasses, gobies, etc. in some hunfred tanks.
Here is a small, 3cm long Centropyge joculator with a small black spot on dorsal fin. It now seems not-rare fish in the aquarium trade but I think that such a small one cannot be seen so often.

Hi, Thanks.
No, unfortunayely I had no time to go Bora Bora; some three hours were needed to visit the B-Box aquarium in Saitama and ruturned to Tokyo. I could have enjoyed the B-Box so much and asked them to send several specimens of wrasses that would reach me tomorrow or on Wednesday. Here is another shot in B-Box; one of the many tanks with a bunch of colorful live corals.

Interesting thread .... some updates for you:
The Waikiki Aquarium has displayed the following rare/endemic fish species, some of which were considered rare or a new species at the time: * = currently on display Griffith's Angel Goldflake Angel Hotomatua angel Chaetodon litus Chaetodon smithi * Chaetodon tinkeri * Centropyge aurantia * Centropyge colini * Centropyge nahackyi * Ostorhinchus sp. * Pseudochelinus ocellatus * Clipperton Angel * Siganus uspi * (21 years in collection) Genicanthus personatus * (two pairs, one from 1992 one from 2000). Prognathodes sp. * Holanthias fuscipinnis * Bodianus sanguineus * Leafy and Weedy seadragons * Cirrhilabrus rosefascia Pseudanthias carlsoni Rhinopias sp. (Hawaiian species) Boarfish (Antigonia sp.) (deepwater butterfly-like fish) Bearded Armorheads * Priolepis aureoviridis (Hawaiian endemic goby) Antennarius drombus (Hawaiian endemic frogfish) Cosmocampus balli (endemic HI pipefish) Desmoholocanthus arcuatus Liopropoma aurora Paracheilinus bellae Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis Maybe Bruce Carlson can add to this list ... Also, most of the C. interrupta in the US market are now coming from RCT. |

Hello Charles,
I am glad that you have shown the list from Waikiki Aquarium. It is very nice and I have never sen some of them. I know that Centropyge interrupta has successsfully been raised in Oahu. Well, the Cirrhilabrus roseafascia also is shown in the list, and is it the ones I show here ? I have been keeping a male of 16 cm long from Cebu. Your specimen came from Fiji if I remeber well.
