Centropyge杂交种s are currently the cool kids at the party and have been circulating the industry and internet so widely that you might think it’ll be hard to pull another textbook-defying specimen out of the sea. While super rare hybrids like thetigerpyge天使和费舍尔的X Potter杂交种remain extremely elusive still, some other hybrids such as theRusty x Flameangels have become commonplace in the hobby.
超级罕见的混合物Centropyge multicolor和C. Ferrugata不幸的是，上面显示的属于前者，目前是第二件被捕获和拍摄的作品，这次是极端珊瑚of Germany. What makes this hybrid so special despite its obvious genetics is the location in which it was caught. Both this hybrid multicolor angelfish and the first specimen were collected in Cebu, Philippines, whereC.多色可能不发生。
In the same way thatC。loriculus(Flame Angelfish) made its way from the Central Pacific to the islands of Philippines,C.多色made a jump too and a small population was then established. Waifs are rare but not impossible and such is most likely the case for bothC。loriculus和C.多色。使用C。loriculus作为这里杂交的“模型”，现在的外星人人口是不完全令人难以置信的C.多色其次适合。C。loriculus, being present in a much smaller population, is forced to breed with other closely related species in Cebu, in this case,C. Ferrugata（生锈的神父）。
我们可以期望我们的孤独人口C.多色,except not quite. You see, whileC。loriculus和C. Ferrugataare closely related and will readily spawn,C.多色is not. This complete lack of relation coupled with the fact that one parent species was a waif from what we believe to be Palau, further decreases the likelihood of this happening. But it did! Hybrids between two unrelated and distant relative of fish within the same genus are rare, but not impossible. Such is also seen with the费舍尔的X Potter杂交种。
Embedded somewhere within that thick cloud of scientific jargon we just mentioned was the fact that this was the second piece to be collected. The first piece pictured directly above, brought in by Brian Griffin of Ocean Gallery is the first ever to be documented and photographed. While we strongly believe it is cross betweenC.多色和C. Ferrugata, we cannot discount the possibility that it could be a tri-hybrid, of [C.多色x (C. LoriculaxC. Ferrugata）。由于所有三个父母都可以在宿雾找到，再加上C. Loricula和C. Ferrugata经常杂交以产生可行的可行杂种后代，我们的小C.多色这里的混合动力可能是虚假的Shepardi Hybrid的恋爱。可以肯定的是，这绝对不是C.多色和C. Shepardi, which it was previously erroneously identified as.
Bear in mind that hybrids ofC.多色are extremely rare and more so with another species that is typically not found in the same range as it. Hybrids with other species however, have not gone unnoticed, and here’s a picture of a specimen ofC.多色xC。bispinosa那目前正在居住在其中一个显示器中Blueharbor。was taken at a LFS in Kyoto, Japan. The photograph of this super rare multicolor x coral beauty hybrid was taken by angelfish aficionado John Coppolino.
