Enneapterygius destai

The Enneapterygius destai lives in the demersal, marine environment.

Enneapterygius destai is however confined to the Red Sea. Enneapterygius elegans can be readily separated from E. gruschkai, with which it occurs sympatrically in the western Indian Ocean, by lateral line count: usually 17+17 for E. elegans vs. More

Enneapterygius destai individual showing red fluorescence of eye and first dorsal fin. Note visibility of gaze orientation and waving of first dorsal fin caused by excitement (laboratory, blue illumination, using Canon PowerShot G7, red filter). Format: MOV Size: 11. More

Enneapterygius destai waving its first dorsal fin when 'excited' (laboratory, from Additional file 3, sequence 2b). b. Corythoichthys schultzi pair interacting, displaying conspicuous red fluorescence on the tail plate (natural reef illumination, 20 m depth, from Additional file 3, sequence 1). c. More

Enneapterygius destai waving its first dorsal fin when 'excited' (laboratory, from Additional file 3, sequence 2b). b. (more ...) One reason why red fluorescence in fishes may have escaped attention is because fluorescence is usually observed during night dives using strong UV light sources. More
