Conspic angelfish, Chaetodontoplus conspicillatus, are rare enough but to find one that is naturally hybridized with another amzing fish species is an awesome, singular event. This is not the first time that a conspic x personifer (Chaetodontoplus meridithi) hybrid has been discovered but this latest specimen is among one of the most mature specimens of it’s kind to be discovered. Huge thanks to our Japanese marine aquarium correspondent Taka Kamata for procuring this exclusive image of the uber rare Conspic-ifer hybrd angelfish from the Japanese shop, Crownfish. This fish was sold almost immediately, before we even got word of it so there are no specifics on size or price, but you can rest assured that the new owner of this fish probably had to ask the wife first. The one detail we do know about the Conspic x Personifer hybrids is that they have only been sighted or captured near the Austalian coast, where Conspics are rare but personifers abound. Follow the link to view the full monty shot of this amazing hybrid angelfish specimen.
