Sarah, Paul Humann's book of Caribbean Reef Fish isn't showing these fish you posted... where did you encounter them?

I couldn't find 'em either, but I thought it was me.

Thanks for the information Glen, I will have to get myself a copy of the Guide. Do you know where it can be purchased on-line? Still think I'll keep the shot on my site (seeming as it's so nice)!!!

By Sarah on Monday, April 30, 2001 - 1:33 pm: |
Perhaps this is the species?

I think the name of the cardinal fish should be Astropagon alutus. There would have to be 200 species of this fish!!! Anyway, I guess my initial concern was that the cardinal fish in the above posted picture were not found in Caribbean waters.... but as their so nice, I'll keep it on my site anyway!

Sounds good to me.

Sarah, you could keep it on your site since it is indeed lovely, but I wouldn't leave the impression it was photographed at Bonaire. Just my opinion... :-)

Thanks.. I plan to get more of MY OWN shots from the Island this year as part of my research. I'll play around with it a little more then.

The fish in question are also found in Robert F. Myers book - Micronesian Reef Fishes. Same scientific name but he calls it a Pajama Cardinalfish. He describes it as a spectacular and a popular aquariam export from the Philippines. Range: Java to New Guinea, n. to the Ryukyus; Belau to Pohnpei in Micronesia.
