Another surgeonfish has been collected in the wild with the strange piebald coloration that seems to be pretty common in wild surgeonfish and now we’re really getting anxious to know what this condition is, or what causes it. The genusCtenochaetusis not nearly as susceptible to the aberrant skin condition that is relatively common inZebrasoma,but this cute little two-spot bristletooth tang has it pretty good, or pretty bad depending on how you look at it.
A recent paper revealed the presence of certain types of skin cancers in wild fish and Cairns Marine has alsodocumented the reversal of this phenomenonin a large captiveCtenochaetus。同时,斯坦哈特水族馆的大型菲律宾珊瑚礁展示中的某些外科医生在完全正常的情况下似乎发展了这种状况,因此,在到达正在发生的事情的底部之前,我们仍然有很多款项要做。
这款特殊的Ctenochaetus Binotatus于今年早些时候被RVS Fishworld捕获,在其体内展现出未知的肤色异常。目前,这种青春期的鱼在正常和异常的颜色之间并没有表现出很强的对比,但是它确实与我们喜欢这种物种的那种美丽的蓝眼对比确实形成了鲜明的对比。
