papageorge1 Posted June 27, 2020 #6 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I was just watching a show talking about some weird versions of sea creatures popping up since the Japanese nuclear disaster dumped radioactive water into the sea. Some mutations can seem positive I guess. Not sure if that has anything to do with this particular fish of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphalesion Posted June 27, 2020 #7 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Now that's one beautiful, fabulous fish! 1 hour ago, papageorge1 said: I was just watching a show talking about some weird versions of sea creatures popping up since the Japanese nuclear disaster dumped radioactive water into the sea.

If you read the article it points out that this species of fish is called Thalassoma purpureum and just looks that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood that but I was suggesting that this particular one was vibrant beyond even that specie's norm. Just totally speculating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHaYap Posted June 29, 2020 #11 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I've seen plenty of this fish during my time on islands, they're not easy to hook with lures on a line and rod but it's not unheard of, just rare that they gets reeled in. I'm just curious if it's common there in Okinawa, not exactly a tropical reef environment. ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
