Hi Damaso, Two years ago I was living in Bali Indonesia after setting up an aquaculture facility called LATC (Les Aquaculture and Training Centre) for an NGO called LINI, at Les Village an Ornamental Fish collecting village for international export through Denpasar Bali. I was breeding the endangered Banggai Cardinalfish Pterapogon kauderni and teaching fish husbandry and breeding. We bred over 2000 Banggai and exported 1490 to an importer at London airport. I am now back in Australia. The Premnas biaculeatus hybrid you show here, I saw in North Bali at a resort house reef. One small specimen in a bubble coral with those gun metal blue bands. i was very excited to see it, but was banned from collecting it by my friend the manager of the resort. I am pleased to see your feature with the example from Manila.Morse says:
