Centropyge Heraldi是一个朴素的黄色矮人的绑住，刚刚等待打开的巨大蠕虫。当您这样做时，您可能想打破并哭泣。除了标准的黄色矮天妇的绑住之外，C. heraldicomes in numerous “variants” that until now remain unexplainable. This new individual from Vanuatu has a black-edged tail that we have never seen before, and adds to the growing number of freaky variations that this one troublesome species has to offer.
In the normal true to type form,C. heraldi是一种无聊的纯色鱼。雄性可能具有非常晦涩的网状图案或尾巴上的绿色和橙色，背面和肛门鳍，如该人所见。在眼睛后面找到带有小深色斑块的标本也不少见。上面的个人有一个很小的补丁。
有趣的是，这条鱼能够产生许多我们只能假设的鱼类C. heraldi。Obviously genetic work needs to be done and tissue samples collected from every single form and compared against the species.
最常见的非标准形式C. heraldi涉及带有黑色柔软的背鳍的标本，如上一张。黑色部分通常也有一个小的银色或蓝色轮廓。这种形式并不罕见，通常是从瓦努阿图收集的。过去，名字Centropyge伍德黑德被任命为此表格，但已成为无效的C. woodheadiis now just a variation ofC. heraldi。有趣的是，黑色边缘可以在水族馆中完全或部分消失，就像某些异常一样Centropyge。
有时会出现的另一个疯狂变化是这些双黑鳍C. heraldi。The long tapering fins suggests that the fish is a large male, and the top black portion on the dorsal is from the “伍德黑德”变体。值得注意的是下肛门鳍上严重变黑。在成熟的雄性中，我们经常看到橙色和绿色的皱纹，但很少有它们看起来如此黑。这里发生了什么？这些人被另一个人污染了血液吗Centropygespecies?
Then we have individuals likethis, with double coloured fins and a discontinued crown. The elongated body profile and the crown suggests genetic input fromc .二色的, but other than that everything is pretty muchC. heraldi。当然的影响c .二色的would be strong enough and not leave the entire body solid yellow, but this isn’t the case here. So the hybrid theory for this particular individual is still floating around, unconfirmed. A tissue sample from such specimens would really be useful in narrowing down the identity crisis.
Perhaps the most severe aberration ofC. heraldi那些被称为宿雾和瓦努阿图的“暗淡的先驱”。过去，这些被认为是杂种中央副本NOX, but aquarium specimens were documented to lose the black partially or completely. Another interesting thing to note is the presence of a huge range of intermediates in this “dusky” patterning. Some like the ones above are nearly completely black, while others have the black localised and cleanly demarcated on either the tail, fins or certain parts of the head.
在这个特殊的暗淡heraldiabove, you can see that the smokiness is very light and restricted to the fins, while the face is particularly smudged in black. This form is sometimes called the panda variety by fish exporters. Note the squiggly green and orange maze like pattern on the anal fin. So what does this all mean. Are they allCentropyge Heraldi？它们必须与该物种或其他物种相连，但正是发生的事情尚不清楚。如前所述，从这些人那里剪下的鳍会解锁秘密heraldi问题。
Now let’s back track and take a look at theC. heraldi黑色边缘再次在尾巴上。背鳍包含典型的“黑色饰边”伍德黑德” variation, but the black-edge on the tail is a new feature that we have not seen in any of the otherC. heraldimorphs before. Notice how the head is also a little bit dusky which is not so evident in the photo, but more clearly seen in the video.
在我们甚至找出真正发生的事情之前C. heraldi，像这样的另一个人弹出了一种全新的变化，使我们更加困惑。也许有一天我们会知道这些是否确实是同一条鱼，对古怪的变化感到偏爱。就目前而言，我们只需要做，并享受大自然必须提供的多种形式。非常感谢吉米·马的香港for sharing with us another one of his fish.
