WOW, they are stunning. I don't know who has the cooler coloration, the male or female! Those are honestly the prettiest Anthias I have seen. Odontanthias borbonius got nothing on the Compsanthias hawaiiensis in my opinion! I wouldn't worry too much about the video artifacts, I think its still a fantastic video.
Thanks but you should see its congener, C. ventralis from other areas of the Pacific. It is even more spectacular. Unfortunately, I don't have video of that species
@@Exallias1 Holy cow, the Ventralis definitely takes the cake. I am used to my little female lyretail, so these guys absolutely take my breath away. Maybe I will follow after you and go dive and get some footage of them
AARGH! Extraordinary images!! A precious Hawaiian fish in a very special place!
Great Video! still looks great at Standard Def

@@Exallias1 Best bit about Ventralis is how wide the variation is between bioregions.
