非常感谢Reef Solutions Vanuatufor sharing the pictures of a very rare, cryptic pygmy angelfish
The blackspot pygmy angelfish,Centropyge nigrocella, is a fish so cryptic and rare that it is not even discussed among rare fish fanciers. The weird thing aboutC. nigriocellais that itisn’trare in the wild; it occurs in regular collection areas well within diving depths. But the reason that the blackspot pygmy angelfish is never seen is that it is the epitome of a reclusive fish.
The blackspot angelfish lives deep within the matrix of the reef and the only specimens ever collected to date had been fished out with the use of sedating chemicals. Until very recently only one image existed of this angelfish species alive. Continue reading for more pictures of this extremely cryptic fish and the story of how thisC. nigriocella被活着。
These exclusive pictures ofCentropyge nigriocella我们来自瓦努阿图礁的解决方案,和他们的account of how this amazing little angelfish surprised the divers who thought they were just collecting flame angelfish in Vanuatu.
这个小家伙是在我们的瓦努阿图车站收集的。收集到它的潜水员在游泳到他的篱笆网时针对火焰天使！纯粹的事故。非常神秘的鱼，收集的地方（10 m时）已成为我们的常规地点之一，我们从未见过那条鱼。但是，如果一目了然，可能会被误认为是卑鄙的。他们知道现在要注意什么，但即使仍然怀疑再次看到这条鱼。我的潜水员拥有80多年来的综合经验，他们以前从未见过这条鱼。
Needless to say, this singular specimen of blackspot angelfish is already on its way to Japan where a rare fish collector paid a princely sum for the privilege to own this one of a kind fish. Sure the blackspot angelfish is not going to be winning any popularity contests, it’s not the most colorful fish in the sea, but to angelfish lovers such as ourselves it is a real treat to see additional photos of whatCentropyge nigriocellareally looks like.
感谢马特和查尔斯！
