Luzonichthys is a genus of marine ray-finned fish in the family Anthiadidae. [1]
There are currently 8 recognized species in this genus:
Anthias are members of the family Anthiadidae in the order Perciformes. The group has also been called Anthiidae or Anthiinae, but these names are preoccupied by a subfamily of ground beetles in the family Carabidae erected by Bonelli in 1813.
Chromis is a genus of fish in the family Pomacentridae. While the term damselfish describes a group of marine fish including more than one genus, Chromis is the largest genus of damselfishes. Certain species within the genus are common in the aquarium trade.
Plectranthias is a genus of ray-finned fish in the subfamily Anthiinae, part of the family Serranidae, the groupers and sea basses. They are found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Cirrhilabrus, the fairy wrasses, is a genus of fish in the family Labridae native to coral reefs and nearby habitats in the Indo-Pacific region. They are brightly colored and do not surpass 16 cm (6.3 in) in length. Males are larger and more colorful than females. They are commonly kept in aquaria.
Pseudanthias is a genus of colourful reef fishes of the subfamily Anthiinae, part of the family Serranidae, the groupers and sea basses. They are found in the Indo-Pacific. The species belonging to this genus have a diet consisting of zooplankton, and are haremic. Fishes currently included in this genus were earlier part of the genus Anthias. Pseudanthias is the largest anthiine genus
Odontanthias is a genus of marine ray-finned fish in the family Anthiadidae. Depending on the exact species, they reach up to 10–22 cm (3.9–8.7 in) in standard length, and are brightly marked with pink and yellow. They are found at rocky reefs in deep water, mainly below 100 m (330 ft). The genus is almost entirely restricted to the Indo-Pacific; O. cauoh of the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago and O. hensleyi of the Caribbean are the only species known from outside the Indo-Pacific and evidence indicates that the latter belongs in Anthias.
Roa is a genus of butterflyfishes native to the Indian and Pacific oceans. The six species are widely distributed: R. australis near Australia, R. excelsa near Hawaii and nearby islands, R. jayakari near India, R. modesta near Japan and China, R. rumsfeldi in the Philippines, and R. haraguchiae near Japan and the Philippines.
John Ernest "Jack" Randall was an American ichthyologist and a leading authority on coral reef fishes. Randall described over 800 species and authored 11 books and over 900 scientific papers and popular articles. He spent most of his career working in Hawaii. He died in April 2020 at the age of 95.
Pempheris is a genus of sweepers native to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Luiz Alves Rocha is the Curator and Follett Chair of Ichthyology at the California Academy of Sciences. He is also an adjunct professor at the University of California Santa Cruz and San Francisco State University.
Tosanoides is a genus of marine ray-finned fish in the family Anthiadidae. They are found in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Tosanoides aphrodite, the Aphrodite anthias, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, from the family Anthiadidae. It was discovered in the Atlantic Ocean in 2018, the only one in its genus to be discovered there. It was first identified by Luiz A. Rocha and Hudson Pinheiro, staff members of the California Academy of Sciences. The fish is electric pink and yellow and has bright green fins. It was discovered on a remote Brazilian archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean and can be distinguished by 15-16 soft dorsal fin rays and 9 anal fin rays. They are sexually dichromatic, meaning the males and females are different colors. It is named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty.
Cirrhilabrus wakanda, the vibranium fairy wrasse, is a species of fairy wrasse from mesophotic reefs at depths of 50–100 m (160–330 ft) in the western Indian Ocean off Tanzania and Mozambique. It was first collected off the coast of Zanzibar, Tanzania by scientists from the California Academy of Sciences. Its separation from the very similar C. rubrisquamis of the Chagos Islands needs confirmation.
Chromis gunting is a species of marine fish of the damselfishes in the family Pomacentridae. This species was first described in 2019, along with Chromis bowesi and Chromis hangganan, discovered and known only from Verde Island Passage, in Puerto Galera and Batangas, in the Philippines. It is characterized by 11 dorsal fin rays, 11-12 anal fin rays, 16-17 pectoral fin ray, 3 procurrent caudal fin rays, 14-16 tubed lateral-line scales, 19-20 gill rakers. The species body length is 2.1-2.2 standard length, with a light brown colored body when fresh that has a silver area on the anterior end and a bilateral black margin on the exterior side of the tail.
Chromis hangganan, the dark margin chromis, is a species of marine fish of the damselfishes in the family Pomacentridae belonging to the genus Chromis. This species was first described in 2019, along with Chromis bowesi and Chromis gunting, discovered and known only from Lubang Island, in the Philippines. It is characterized by 10–12 dorsal fin rays, 11–12 anal fin rays, 18 pectoral fin rays, 3 caudal fin rays that are procurrent, 16 lateral line scales that are tubed, 23–26 gill rakers, and a body depth of 1.9–2.0 in standard length(5.78 cm in length) as differed from other congeners. The adult fish's color when fresh is yellowish having dark black margins on the dorsal and anal fins.
Chromis bowesi, known as the rhomboid chromis, is a species of damselfish in the family Pomacentridae. This species was first described in 2019 by Luiz A. Rocha and colleagues, along with Chromis hangganan and Chromis gunting, discovered and known from Verde Island, Batangas Bay and Puerto Galera Bay, in the Philippines.
Plectranthias ahiahiata, the sunset perchlet, is a fish of the family Serranidae, subfamily Anthiinae. It is believed to be endemic to Rapa Nui in the South Pacific. It was discovered at 90m depth during mesophotic coral ecosystem exploration by the deep diving team from the California Academy of Sciences.
Cirrhilabrus earlei is a species of fairy wrasse. They occur in the Western Central Pacific, Palau and Micronesia. In 2001 John Randall and Richard Pyle officially documented and described the species. Cirrhilabrus earlei is the known to the twilight reefs of Palau and the Majuro Atoll in the Marshall Islands. They live under depth range of 60–92 m, and its length is 6.9 cm SL. Male Cirrhilabrus earlei are adorned with sword-shaped tails, the tiny female species are same as male stimulates the male into the nuptial.
Plectranthias hinano, or Hinano's perchlet, is a species of fish in the family Serranidae occurring in the north-western Pacific Ocean.
Plectranthias polygonius, the polygon perchlet, is a species of fish in the family Serranidae occurring in the Pacific Ocean.
