When this fish was collected by William Crook and donated to Waikīkī Aquarium in 2007, it was the only known Potter's x Fisher's cross. Since then two more of these hybrids have been captured, but this individual is still the only Potter's x Fisher's angelfish on exhibit in a public aquarium.

This fish can be seen in the Deep Reef exhibit in Gallery 2.

This rare hybrid angelfish was collected in August 2011 by Glen Fukuda, who found it in 30 feet of water in Maunalua Bay. Around Oahu, Potter's angelfish are fairly common, but flame angelfish are becoming increasingly rare. In October, this beautiful, bright orange angelfish was added to the Theatre tank in the Corals are Alive exhibit.

As fish observers around Oahu know, the saddle wrasse is one of the most common fish on the reef, while the sunset wrasse is very rarely seen. Thus, a rare sunset wrasse was likely forced to choose a closely related saddle wrasse as its mate, leading to these hybrids. Waikīkī Aquarium has two hybrid Thallasoma wrasses on exhibit in the Marine Protected Areas exhibit. Matt Ross, who generously donated both of these fishes, states that even though these hybrids are very rare around Oahu, he sees them more often than the pure sunset wrasses.
