carolinus x zonarchus
HYBRID
STAREYE x YELLOWBAR PARROTFISH This
apparent hybrid was recorded by a remote video camera operated by
The
MEGA Lab. The body shape is definitely Calotomus
but the two-tone color pattern and yellow caudal fin is not known
from any parrotfish in Hawaii. This specimen has the black
pectoral fin blotch present in
Calotomus carolinus,
while it also has the black anal spot present in the endemic
Calotomus zonarchus. |
