Pseudanthias bartlettorum (Randall & Lubbock 1981), Bartlett's Anthias. Western Pacific. One of the hardiest Anthiines for aquarium use. To three and a half inches in length. Aquarium image of a male. Here at the Ripley's Aq. in Toronto, Canada. 2015

 

The most popular Rhinecanthus species is immortalized in the song of none other than Don Ho himself. This is the Humuhumu nukunuku apua'a (literally "water pig with a needle" in Hawaiian, in reference to grunting noise they make and their spiny dorsal "trigger"), AKA the Picasso or Lagoon Trigger (aka the "Blackbar" to science), Rhinecanthus aculeatus (Linnaeus 1758). A juvenile of a couple inches in captivity.  
 
Rhizophora mangle, the Red Mangrove. Of the many species, indeed families of mangrove trees, this is likely the most commonly utilized by aquarists. Up to 22 meters tall in the wild, capable of breaking the strongest of aquarium construction materials. Most common complaint is loss of magnesium ions (along with sodium pumping), resultant calcium imbalances in closed systems. Here above their SIO/Birch Aq. exhibit  2015
