Canthigaster valentini (Bleeker 1853),
Valentini's Sharpnose Puffer has a filefish
mimic. You have to look close to discern Paraluterus
prionurus even when accidentally shipped mixed in with
valentine's puffer; as a file it has a two-spine dorsal that
the puffers lack. This is a type of Batesian mimicry, with the file
suffering less predation by pretending to be an unpalatable puffer. S. Leyte 2013 |

Pterois antennata (Bloch 1787), the
Antennata Lion or Broad-Banded Firefish to science. This is the
third lion confused with the volitans and Luna species. You
won't make this mistake. Antennata lions have strikingly
different pectoral fin rays. These are long, the thickness of
pencil lead and bright white. Also, remember the connection,
between the name Antennata for it's
relation to the black and white antennae
(supraorbital flaps) and the six prominent spots on their face. To eight
inches long.
