We spotted this demi-god of a fish at the infamous Greenwich Aquaria. Although this species has been documented from only Mauritius and Southern Japanese waters, this specimen was imported from the Kingdom of Tonga.
The video was taken several months after it was imported in a very poor condition and has recovered nicely since. Now if they could just get one more and start rubbing them together we might be able to get some frags.
