On th same day we caught a 1" bandit.

LOL Tim! It is a great time right now. we were actually diving for Hawaiian dragons and bandit angels only. We did not find any dragons, but caught an unreal 30" Yellowmouth Moray. According to the locals, this guy is just as rare as a dragon, but it is poisonous.
I'll be back in mrch and I will be heading to the bottom to find more fishies

I just picked up a Centropyge Potteri today from a local LFS. Its just a tad larger than dime size, i'd say nickel!!
Anyways, its eating well and adapting to life in my little ocean. Colors on this guy are so nice. IMO this is probably one of the prettiest Centropyge species there are. I have him in my Elos 120 with my Centropyge Ebili. I'd post a pic but he/she is not doing much open water swimming yet.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=12840164#post12840164 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by myerst2

WOW, crazy pipe fish. Any ideas on what the Centroypge x ____ is in the 4th pic from the bottom?
On a side note, any know what happened to Wayne Shang? He was a very well known reefer a couple years back and had some really cool rares but I havent heard about him in years. Im sure Copps can chime in

Hmmmmm...i dont think so, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me. I dont see any resembelence. One is all orange and one is yellow and black

It's actually yellow with a brown tail blue around the eyes and a electric blue around the top dorsil fin. I'm not refering to guys post above this one. But to a guy 2 pages or so before. They actually have one in stock at my LFS. Thay just got it in on Tuesday. The picture on Marinecenter doesn't do it justice at all! Its so much nicer in person specialy the colors.

Well they had this labeled as H. crispa and it obviously isn't. They also have this labeled as a lemonpeel aberration when, IMO, it is very likely a flavissimus x vroliki hybrid.
I highly respect the good Dr.'s and those that work for them, but they are all human and from time to time err. This is not to say that my fish is a hybrid and not a variant, but in their reply to my question asking about this they seem far from certain but made an educated guess given the available criteria to go upon.
My belief that it is a hybrid is based upon the stripe in the eyes and that the fish remains a yellow color throughout except when very stressed or sleeping while it clearly has ties to Z. scopas with the spots and the blue outline of the rear fins. I in no way think this is absolute.
just my $.02
This is the one I'm refering to.

If you're reffering to the all orange pygmy its a xanthic color morph of a coral beauty.

Yes, that was what I was referring to. Would have never guessed coral beauty but great looking fish. Any idea where it ended up? Im guessing Japan
