    They have been calling them "Red Ark" pencils here.

    Very nice fish, can jump, hang out together and school well, these are plant fish, they hang out under the plant leaves.

    don't think that's coral red. not sure what's the true name.
    the uncle at C328 once name it purple pencil or red pencil.
    anyone can confirm the name?

    So there is actually a variant of a pencilfish that looks like a coral red. Is there a distinctive feature about the coral red has that the other fish does not have. I have a suspicion one of my five coral red is not a true coral red.
