All white??Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #25208
Interesting with so few spots - the link between normal and all-white annulata?Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #16887
Unusual for the Persian Gulf. Usually they have the two rings linked or broken up.Comment from Richard Willan on photo #13689
A very interesting photo showing individuals of two colour forms side by side. The form without any golden spots (represented by the larger individual) is very uncommon.Comment from Richard Willan on photo #6531
Detail of gill circlet surrounding the anus.Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #1427
