If we just stumbled across a random youtube video claiming to be documenting captive bred marine angefish we’d be skeptical to say the least.

Just when we thought we’d seen just about every iteration, aberration and permutations of the way that coral beauty angelfish can get funky, one comes along with a while new swag. Whereas many of the aberrant coral beauty angelfish look like mistakes were made on the basic blueprint coloration, this little guy living at Abyss Read More

Pygmy angelfish variants are cool but few can compare to aberrant flame angelfish when the colors of Centropyge loricula get put on overdrive. The deep dark black tiger stripes have been replaced with deep red ones on a yellow-orange body and even the dorsal and anal fins are pure red save for a thin strip Read More
