130 X 36 x 36 inbound...any suggestions?

Please elaborate...

lol, look at it!

It is so bizarre, seems to have characteristics of a few trigs that don't share the same geographical location.

the sickle on it is reminiscent of r. lunula, as is the anal spot.
the belly spot could also be r. lunula, but is a bit larger, but not as large as r. verrucousus.
the color of the mouth line seems also to be r. verrucousus, but is also partly yellow, as seen in r. aculeatus,.
her eye band looks light enough to be r. lunula, but geez how? so probably, r. aculeatus...?

a lot of the fish looks like a juvi r. lunula, but again, the geographical location is off...

really odd...a tail clipping for dna, is def is in order..
 
Thanks for clarifying, I thought you were speaking about behavior of the trigger, I know you have had your fair share so I wasn't sure what you meant. It's extremely odd appearance wise, Coolest trigger I have ever seen! Please post the results of the tail clipping if/when you do it very interested to see what it's DNA has to say
 
Long time no see! Tank looks superb, as usual :-)
The Gem-hybrid is gorgeous. I think you've got the best looking of the less-than-handful...
Is that trigger in one of your tanks!? Where was it collected? I thought at first glance an R. assasi x. aculeatus or even R. assasi x bursa!
 
Gramma Dejongi coming?

no...was very close to getting a pair a year ago, but never pulled the trigger, as I didn't really have room, and glad I didn't...hope to se some tb within the next year...

Gris,

What's up bud? Been too long, I hope all is well with you and yours... The gem is one of 3, maybe 4, lol, crazy fish, you want?
The rhinecanthus is truly bizarre and I don't think we will know what it truly is until I get a fin clipping analyzed...almost seems to have lunula in it, but, lol, it doesn't make sense??

this monster was published last year...it is simply huge...pages are 9 x 13, there are over 2000 of 'em, it is 5 inches thick, and about 25 pounds... a beast of a collection...read a book...


 
Is this the one you're talking about? I'm really looking forward to watching what comes your way in the next few months after your somewhat cryptic posts earlier!

TK, I'd love too relieve you of such a burden of a fish! Lolll.
I see the Lunula in it now, but it would've been a long way from home for one of its parents!

Been good, except for the fact that Marineland doesn't silicone their Deep Dimension 300 gallon tanks very well.....
 
I wish I had just a quarter of the amount of amazing fish you have. Don't get me wrong, I have some beautiful fish, I am just a sucker for Hybrids.
 
an old picture of a cool fish, never got confirmation where it ended up, and heard, sadly, it is no longer with us... not sure...
 
Any word on the "lemonpeel" Angel found in the coral triangle? Have there been any other odd discoveries regarding other angelfish species around that area?
