Entacmaea quadricolor (Ruppell & Leuckart 1828), the Bubble-Tip
or Bulb-Tentacle Sea Anemone. Family Actiniidae. This is historically
the hardiest of large, naturally symbiotic Clownfish anemones for
aquarium use... many more specimens are collected and received in tact,
in reasonably good health from the wild to distributors. And more and
more folks are offering very hardy "fragged" individuals that are
asexual cloned aquacultured specimens. Here in the Red Sea. |

| The Sling-Jaw Wrasse, Epibulus insidiator
(Pallas, 1770) is showing up more and more in the industry, and is a real
winner looks-wise, though I’ll still have to rate it a moderate score
(2) in historical hardiness. Below: Juvenile with distinctive markings,
females are golden yellow over-all, while males are blackish in the
back, pale on the face, with an orange-brown "coat" on their back. To
fourteen inches total length. Indo-Pacific. Near adult, terminal phase
individual in the Red Sea, 08. |
 |
| Epinephelus fasciatus (Forsskal 1775), the
Blacktip Grouper. You might think "fasciated" might be a better common
name for this Bass, until seeing how changeable its coloring is in the
wild. Indo-Pacific. to sixteen inches maximum length. Gulf of Aqaba, Red
Sea. |
 |
| Epinephelus fuscoguttatus (Forsskal 1775), the
Brown-Mottled Grouper. To more than thirty inches in length. A gentle
behemoth that is occasionally "accidentally" collected for the trade. A
shy species for getting so large. Red Sea. |
