According to Smith's encyclopedia, although common in the Indo-Pacific, this is a rare catch off Durban!

Reckon you should submit this to the SA institute for Aquatic Biodiversity. Prof Heemstra. They don't even have a picture of the fish in the encyclopedia, so this might help them?!

Hi Guys
Some feed back from Prof Heemstra from SAIAB.
He said that is was a very rare catch off Durban and that it is only the second one he has heard of in 30 years? Reefs you where right they don't have pic on their Data base and have agreed to let then use the photo for their data base.

Winner! Thanks for the feedback!

Wow, this is awesome news! Well done Richard! It's a high quality pic as well... I'm sure they'll be chuffed with it!

Hope you have recovered from a busy December Richard!!

Thanks for a great day out with you and Viskop and looking forward to one again later in the year.

Thought I would share one or two pics from our outing.

Oh yes, that was definitely a first and the last time that will ever happen.

Saw the pic of Mrs Viskop, very nice, but I don't think she will agree. She seems to be in a lot of pain, and that was only a baby bonnie
