Pectinochromis lubbocki (Edwards & Randall, 1983)
Dottybacks are some of the most beloved tropical marine fish for the small to the large saltwater and reef aquariums and today we learned about one more species that we had never heard of before. Pectinochromis lubbocki is one of those small cryptic species of dottybacks that are rarely seen because they are either very shy, highly reclusive, or both but thanks to a flawless photograph shared by Andrey Ryanski we have our first good look at this interesting nano fish.
Synonym: Pseudoplesiops lubbocki
