scythe butterflyfish

Prognathodes falcifer | The legendary Scythe Butterflyfish, and also the Aquarium's logo animal. Birch is the only place in the world to exhibit the species. Despite being found off Catalina Island and Baja, they live pretty deep (sometimes they come up to shallower water) so no one collects them.

Prognathodes falcifer | Was an honor to see the only pair / individuals in captivity. This was during feeding so it allowed me to get a pic with both in the same photo. Its a little blurry cause it was so dark, but truly, an epic species
