澳大利亚以生产一些行业最佳迷幻珊瑚和值得礁鱼的流口水而闻名。境内的土地是一大堆未开发的赏金，与澳大利亚仍然需要提供的东西相比，我们能够带给交易的资金无济于事。大量无法到达的好东西主要来自西澳大利亚州，那里的地方Rowley Shoals位于。卡纳克岛（Carnac Island）是另一个这样的地区，主要是海带和藻类主导的礁石，占据了澳大利亚最佳木制的居住 - 在您可能从未听说过的属中。

视频above provides a sampling of some of the lesser known wrasse species. Apart from the very cool, gothic looking Talma Butterflyfish (Chelmonops curiosus）， 一些眼科lineata视频中可以看到不同的生活阶段。特别令人感兴趣的是在一分钟大约上看到的男性。眼科lineata，通常被称为澳大利亚毛利 - 瓦拉斯（Maori-Wrasse），是一个大物种，生长到40厘米，并且在钓鱼时经常被钩住。雄性精美地装饰着水平的红色，白色和黑色颜色，头部主要是黑色，电蓝色scraw着。
Another notable species that wasn’t featured in the video but also hails from Carnac Island isDotalabrus alleni. UnlikeO. lineata,D. alleniis a small species that grows to a maximum size of 11 cm. The males ofDotalabrus alleniare greenish overall and are adorned with blue flecks and dashes. Males also possess a yellow streak toward the second half of the body that runs from the posterior dorsal area to the caudal peduncle. A few black blotches run vertically downward. Females are less colorful and have evenly spaced vertical black blotches that fade to spots at even intervals throughout the body. Unfortunately, due to the hard to reach location and limited geographical range,D. alleniis never seen in the trade.
另外两个在西澳大利亚州南部至西澳大利亚州通常发现的独特且形状奇怪的木质是Siphonognathus caninis和Eupetrichthys angustipes.S. caninisis a very curious looking labrid that is shaped more like a pipefish than anything else. The small fish grows to a length of 12 cm and is very colorful, especially during courtship.E. angustipesis a slender, elongated wrasse that is shaped like an eel. Also a small species,E. angustipes如果不是因为它们的不可用，将为礁石坦克提供一个有趣的补充。
Western Australia is home to a multitude of other miniature aquarium suitable wrasses. The very colorful and rare dottyback looking wrasse known asPictilabrus brauniis one exceptional beauty that is endemic to only a small strip of reef on the south coast of West Australia. This results in zero information and pictures available online but if you have access to Rudie Kuiter’s关于扭曲的终极书, you’ll find two amazing pictures of it inside. These unorthodox wrasses are just some of many hidden secrets dwelling in the reefs of Wester Australia. Other critters that lurk there are just waiting to be discovered. Now what say we ditch the vegemite and start diving the West Coast, mate.
