Working on Reef Builders we think about Jake Adams every day, and miss the conversations we used to have with him about all things reefing. Something we spoke about a lot was Jake’s own fish collection, and he would test us by sending photos on messenger and getting us to tell him what we thought it was.
We vividly remember one of Jake’s last procurements for the Reef Builders Studio in July 2022, the Gold Crown Butterflyfish, Chaetodon flavocoronatus. He was so excited to finally bag one of these fish, and collect another piece of the puzzle from the Chaetodon subgenus.
Take it away, Jake…
