Yeah, It could have somehow squeezed through a gap (That is if it was thin and small) in the weir. I have had fish manage to find their way down to the sun (My most recent was my Naoko fairy wrasse down the back of my Red Sea Max Nano. Never again will I stop watching my wrasses during a water change).Yea I think we all agree on that. Now we are more arguing how it got there and age
I saw that article; as of a year ago they’d only managed to produce 12 in a batch and they’re expert commercial breeders. Haven’t found a single source yet selling ORA or any captive bread lyretail. So to me this evidence makes it less likely to accidentally raise a lyretail fry, but by no means is it impossible. It does seem less likely that it actually hatched in the tank though given that the lyretails didn’t do well and all died off as @Jdadams pointed out. But it certainly could have come in small enough not to be noticed. On the flip side with 7 lyretails in the mix, 1 spawning event in the months they were in there isn’t impossible either.https://www.reef2rainforest.com/2020/03/06/ora-tests-the-waters-of-commercial-anthias-breeding/
that is a baby lyretail anthias. So we can’t go based on coloration anymore
I would agree with this however, it has both the wrong body shape and markings for both these fish.Midas blenny or a wrasse
That’s what I was meaning when I said markings on my above post
This is what I’m seeing. It looks like it’s developing the line behind the eye prominent on lyretails and some other anthias as well.
