Dragon morays, Enchelychore pardalis
from Hawaii are striking with white bodies and variegated black, yellow
and red markings. Their name derives from the presence of elongate,
pointed jaws and long posterior nostril tubes. They command a high price
for their beauty and adaptability, and are worth it. |

Centropyge acanthops
(Norman 1922), even more orange than the sympatric Centropyge argi and
Centropyge aurantonotus, the African Pygmy Angel (1) can be easily discerned
as the only one of the three with a light colored, yellow-transparent caudal
fin. Coastal eastern Africa up to the coast of Oman. A monster at SIO.

appearance, variable length, usually magenta tipped, with radial
markings. Found in sediment in shallow, still water. Here in CT at House
of Fins.
