pic for Littlebee

[Gary Majchrzak]

yes... I took this with my cellphone so it's crappy

 

[NirvanaFan]

local store?

 

[low riderr]

give it up, where did you take the pic?would love to get one someday

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

ok

ok

this APPEARS to be the fish you guys were looking for but it might NOT be.

To some it might matter, to others.... meh.
You folks were looking for Ctenochaetus flavicauda

I think this one is Ctenochaetus binotatus

both have color variations within the species.....

FWIW my "holy grail" of Ctenochaetus is the blue striped bristletooth which can be seen on page 76 of the Kuiter/Debelius book "Surgeonfishes Rabbitfishes and their Relatives"

 

[NirvanaFan]

I agree with your ID Gary. I'm guessing you saw this at MO?

 

[reefcrazy1]

[LittleBee]

Yes! That's the one I want!! Where is it? Anyplace close to me?

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

[LittleBee]

Ctenochaetus striatus?

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

I have a striatus. Was looking for blue stripe but apparently that is simply a juvi striatus.
