Meiacanthus solomon is the newest blenny collected from a depth of 60-65 m about 1 inch in length. With the new addition, the total of Meiacanthus is now 29. The new blenny is pearl white with black strips in the middle and upper half of the body. The third black strip goes halfway on the upper fin and yellow-greenish on the top of the fin.
The new blenny Meiacanthus solomon is named after King Solomon and the Solomon Island. While comparing with other species in the same genus it differs in colors. Currently only known from the Solomon Island but is likely to be found in other deep-water reefs.
Like always it's my day one in the hobby. Always been a hobbyist but never knew would dive so deep in the hobby. I too started with a freshwater aquarium. When I first started saltwater aquarium it just grew on me and I knew that had to do more in this hobby. I am a Post-Grad in Business Administration have worked with Coldstar Logistics, Amazon and Jindal's before jumping completely in the ocean. Other than aquarium hobby I have my interests in travel, digital games and consumer web technology.
