A very very nice fishy.

[SDguy]

Probably one of the nicest zebrasoma "variants" I've seen.

 

[Kahuna Tuna]

Most of the zebrasoma variants just look diseased to me, just junk yard dog ugly but this one is very cool and unique looking. Awesome fish.

 

[tanglovers]

I would agree this is one of the better ones I have seen. I would love to get one someday.

I think it's the distinct blotches of colors...the "graphic" appearance. Most, as you said, just look muddied...

Very cool looking!

i have a disorder, whatever is rare automatically looks beautiful to me

I know there is one in David? Saxby's aquarium but does anyone else have one of these guys? It would be interesting to see different variations of this morph

I agree with the statement that some look crappy. I didnt think the ones on LA a while ago were very good looking.

same boat 4 me.

 

[FOBMcGyver]

I'm with you on that one. I love oddities no matter what they look like.

 

[kdblove_99]

I hate to say it. But that is pretty cool looking

 

[xia]

If I owned him, I'd call him "Mr. T" looks like he's sportin a full beard there.

 

[Vili_Shark]

2 months ago in Hong Kong there was an Acanthurus mata with the same coloration, just awsome.
Tangs wont get the same $$$ as Angels, but it was sold instantly for a pretty high price.

 

[Yarim]

GORGEOUS!!! Completely amaaaaazzzzzzinnnnnnggggggg. Stunning, breath taking, incredibly awesome. I would like one. Can I find them in the keys??? :"-)

 

[chrisstie]

It looks like a tang that got confused and wanted to look like a Foxface but something happened in the process. Interesting I guess but not my cup of tea for what I'd like to keep in my own tank.

Personally I don't want to pay more for a fish with "broken color"- I find myself liking the blobbie and other variations of clowns but enjoy a normal looking fish just the same ;p

 

[fuschia_red]

IS THAT REAL?!

 

[snorvich]

It was on Divers Den. Don't know if someone purchased it.

 

[Tu Ku]

Only one like that in the world, and he got caught! You'd think coloring like that would be an advantageous mutation.

 

[seapug]

Yeah, David Saxby has a bunch of those mutant Zebrasomas in his tank. Someone re-posted the YouTube video of his tank earlier today.

Not as colorful but still interesting.
