‘Cocopeel’ is our personal shorthand for Cocos Island, Indian Ocean, Lemonpeel Angelfish,Centropyge flavissima. This highly unusual variant of a common aquarium fish hides an evolutionary rift from the standard-issue lemonpeel angelfish which goes back thousands of years, and its tiny, limited distribution makes the Cocopeel one of the rarest of all aquarium pygmy angelfish.
但这不是这篇文章的目的，而是关于我们的迷恋，边界infatuationwith how beautiful and bright the blue eyes of the Cocopeel are. Unlike the typical lemonpeel angelfish with its blue eye ring and somewhat dark yellow to black iris, the intense blue iris of the Indian Ocean lemonpeel totally pop between the black pupil and the brilliant yellow body which is altogether a different shade than its Pacific Ocean counterpart.
我们已经详细介绍了two forms of lemonpeel angelfishand even touched on some of the genetic analysis between the two fish. But this time we’ve got some excellent footage of a large adult Cocopeel which is in perfect show quality and primed to for its theatrical debut. Enjoy!
