The master of rare fish colelcting has done it again. We just received this picture taken by Steve Robinson of a mostly xanthic morph of the bicolor angelfish, Centropyge bicolor, from the hotbed of fish biodiversity of Papua New Guinea. Other unusual morphs of coral beauties and bicolor angelfish similar to this one have been found before and there is no certainty that this specimen will keep it’s color. Gotta love the gorgeous red spotting in the white part of the body.
Cracked out bicolor pigmy angel morph is collected in PNG
