Ken Kurtis, USA
Info
We would like to thank Ken Kurtis from California for one of the very few photos of a live Goniistius plessisi, who was able to get the finger fin in the Pacific waters and Easter Island in front of the camera lens.
Very few divers will encounter this animal in the sea, as this finger fin is only found in a few places (Easter Island, Marotiri and Rapa).
Here the animal lives on rocky bottoms and adjacent sandy areas, where it searches for edible aquatic plants and invertebrates.
There is no aquaristic husbandry experience and this would not be recommended for a large reef aquarium, as many of the usual co-inhabitants would quickly disappear....
