You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

Well whatever she is, she's adorable. Leopards are by far my favorite.

Same! I have room for one more, and as soon as Hawaii gets its stuff together and I can track down a Potter's, my triad will be complete!

Yeah, they are in taxonomical limbo. Originally described (by Randall, I believe) as Macropharyngodon, but later reclassified to Haliochores due to the lack of pharangeal teeth. That being said, DNA sequencing puts them more closely related to Macropharyngodon than Haliochores, so they are generally treated as such- especially given their appearance and behavior.

Sounds like it should be in its own genus. Pseduomacropharyngodon obviously

That doesn't look like a throat tooth to you?

Does anyone have any experience with these guys? I know they are extremely rare, but that's about all the info I can find.

Apparently those are “A pair actually, of recurved canines on the posterior edge of their upper jaws” not the teeth on the pharyngeal plate.

That teaches me

Can we still call her a leopard?

Also, I don't know if other fish see those teeth when they yawn and take heed, but M. bipartitis has never been antagonized even once by the clowns.

Yes, it is absolutely considered and treated as a Leopard Wrasse.

Can we find more letters for it? Let's ask the Germans for help.

Or fewer, we can ask the Slovaks and they'll take out the vowels for us!

I’d like to thank this hotel for having a tank worse than mine. Thank you for the confidence boost!

It is… wonder why they did the blue lights. Did they think they were gonna do corals or did they just not know and buy blue lights because they are marine lights??

Maybe they once had coral and they all died?
