Difference between "Moorish idol and Pennant bannerfish" I investigated a similar tropical fish "Moorish idol and Pennant bannerfish" that inhabits Kabira Bay in Ishigaki Island. At first, when I saw both in the sea, I didn't notice the difference. As a result of investigating as follows, I understood the difference well. Moorish idol Scientific name: Zanclus cornutus Features: The tail fin is black. The base of the mouth is yellow with a black border. The lips is black. Pennant bannerfish Scientific name: Heniochus chrysostomus Features: The tail fin is transparent. The lips is yellow.

House Gecko without a tail, Observation report Every night, some white geckos appear in the window. (I wrote one year ago, 30 April 2020) I think they come to eat the insects that gather in bright window after observing carefully. Since they are very timid nocturnal reptiles, they run away immediately when I point the camera. The creatures similar to these are the newt amphibian. The Okinawan geckos scream with a squeaky voice like "kyu kyu kyu". This is a cry peculiar to Okinawa's House Gecko.   30 April 2020 Even now (May 2021) they come here every day. Recently, there is one gecko without a tail. I wonder if it was the scar of a fight with a similar species or a fight with a large moth. I captured the way the tail grows naturally every day, so I will report continuously it here. It is surprisingly quick to regenerate, and the prototype is completed in about 10 days.
