additionally, i have found large interrupta to break down due to sporazoans...large white spots that begin to manifest themselves on the head and then lateral line and body of the fish...initially confused with crypt and then as they enlarge lymph...but on close examination (as the spores grow)..lymph is "fluffier" looking, while sporazoans are "pussier" looking...i have no proof and it is simply a guy's, who has spent too much time, energy and $, opinion but i have seen disproportionate occurrence of sporazoan infections in interrupta and africanus than i have in other fish I've kept (primarily angels).

Thank you for giving me a clue about this!!! I have lost a couple angels to this, and had no idea what it was... is it treatable?

FYI years ago I introduced Koji to Kevin... this year at MACNA Koji mentioned his visit to you... I told Koji about the narcosis Kevin had and how you might be interested... Koji emailed you and when you responded I passed on the good news to Kevin, minutes before his well deserved honor of MASNA Aquarist of the Year Award was announced...

I'm with Koji now in Osaka... a few days of diving southern Wakayama Prefecture with interrupta and today we visited one of the other captive narcosis... ironically on display in a doctor's office in Nara Prefecture! :) It's roommates are an amazing collection I'll share soon, but the only tankmate of the narcosis is an equally rare (and in fact moreso) Cirrhilabrus squirei...

What's yours with Mike? Share that collection!:celeb1:

I think it is funny that this narcosis angel was actually offered for sale here in NJ before DD even got their hands on it. It wasn't an advertised fish, but a few people were contacted about this fish seeing if any of us wanted it. I passed as well as several others I know that it was offered to as well. I don't know the exact # of people that were notified about this angel, but a Lfs actually made the calls. This was roughly a week before DD had gotten ahold of it. Good luck with it, I'm looking forward to pics of it when it has aged for a few years.

Why is this funny? It's well known Quality Marine got the fish. Like many of their rare single fish it was offered to many of their customers... and like many of their rare fish DD pulled the trigger.
 
I said funny as in it was offered up to others before it was offered to DD. from what I was told DD didn't know about the fish initially until it was already being offered up. Also some of the prior posts make it seem like this fish was unattainable by anyone except DD.

very unlikely....as plenty of people knew about the fish even before it landed in US(QM advertised it on their webpage http://www.qualitymarine.com/News/Company-News/-Photo-of-the-Week---Centropyge-Narcosis-%2808/13/12%29)...more than two month before it was actually sold...perhaps you missed that or may be you think DD guys don't use internet...:cool:
