Gramma dejongi Seen on Video

By: Brandon Klaus

We’ve been teased with still images long enough. The Gramma dejongi has finally been captured on film, though this short clip is itself a bit of a tease. The above video begins with a slideshow high definition pictures of this gorgeous Cuban fish, followed by a brief video. The more and more I see this fish, the more it reminds me of the Royal Gramma Basslet (G. loreto), which is predominantly purple in color. Glassbox Design, who is also covering this story, reports that the fish is less aggressive and not as reclusive as the Royal Gramma, which is good news considering the vibrant colors and assumed high price tag for the G. dejongi.
