whoa :eek: he's got that look that says he will tear you to shreds if you come near it. Great pic. Does the male always to the nest sitting?
 
Yeah, where is Mom? I don't think that starfish has a chance of getting those eggs, if he plans on remaining a five-armed starfish anyway.

Bang, I know the mom is a false perc, but what is the male perc? Is it a true percula of a false percula that happens to be black in color? Can different species in same family mate? Just wondering.

I always thought they were both Perculas because of the 9 Dorsal spines. I was recently corrected that they are either both Ocellaris or hybrids.

Is that coloration like that all the time, or is it a breeding color mode? I don't think I have ever seen a fish like that. Great job.
