I am proposing that if this species only takes 20 days to Meta, and a substrate spawning O. longirostris that takes 55 days is Class C, then perhaps the Koran Angel might qualify as our first and possibly only pelagic-spawning Class C. Then again, that might also dictate that the Spotted Mandarin move to Class C too! Otherwise, to make sense, O. longirostris really needs to go into class D ;) |
