Don’t let the large macro photograph fool you, this Plectranthias nanus is barely topping out at 7/8th of an inch (22mm), total length. The adorable Plectranthias nanus is yet another little nano reef fish gem that Greenwich Aquaria has imported from the magical reef lands of Cebu, Phillipines. The nano perchlet was only about $40 but being about the length of a man’s thumbnail, this is one fish that would surely disappear in all but the tiniest of small nano reef setups. We love all Plectranthias species so bad it almost hurts; seriously though, let’s hope that Cebu or some other collection location eventually turns turns up some Plectranthias sagamiensis or Plectranthias pelicieri.
Plectranthias nanus is so nano
