Pretty cool. I'd like to dive down to 300 feet sometime, the lowest I ever went was 92!

To quote a friend

" Richard is not really announcing a "new" species, just
that he found more specimens. He discovered this fish probably 10
years ago and caught some for us to keep at the Waikiki Aquarium.
Interesting to know they are found in the NW Hawaiian Islands in
shallower water."

John,

Yes - Ruider Kuiter's 2002 Butterflyfishes book has photos of the one from Waikiki.
