Continuing on the review of Yujin’s Saltwater Fish Part 1, here’s a look at the second half of the set.

Yellow Longnose Butterflyfish (Forcipiger flavissimus)

Size of figure: 4.8 cm

Size: 22 cm

Scale: 1:4

Color: yellow body with half black on top and white on the lower half of the head, transparent pectoral and caudal fin, pale blue on the end of dorsal and anal fin, and black eye spot on the either side of the anal fin

Diet: hard and soft coral polyps and small crustaceans

Species frequency in being made into toy form: rare

Base: sand with rock

Notes: a butterflyfish with a typical butterflyfish shape; not the most exciting butterflyfish for Yujin to go with but the reason why they went with this species might be because of the butterfly fish character in Finding Nemo is a yellow longnose butterflyfish.

I had not planned on another post so soon, but since the blog has been kinda quiet, I thought I would transfer over one of my walkarounds. This time, the orange-striped shrimp goby, Stogonobiops yasha Yoshino et Shimada, 2010 that was released as part of the line called Another Aquarium by the company For Corporation (yes, that is the name of the company).
