    yeah but back then it wasnt. It seems shallow reefs were destroyed by sedimentation and pollution and this specie lived in very shallow (5-10 feet) reefs.

    btw I am refering to reefs in my country, Philippines. And the latest study shows 60% of reefs existing 20 years ago are now dead. tsk tsk.

After describing it (with difficulty and with drawings) my marine bio friend told me he saw bright ones and never black. The one I got, again showing a pic in a book was already --- extinct.
