The pink cardinalfish was accompanied by at least 15 Guadalupe cardinalfish, A. guadalupensis, in a small crevice at a depth of about 10 m. The smaller size and vertical bar set this fish off from the Guadalupe cardinalfish. The larger Guadalupe cardinalfish seemed to dominate the pink cardinalfish forcing it to the outer open- ing of the crevice. An individual pink cardinalfish was observed at Nort

The smaller size and vertical bar set this fish off from the Guadalupe cardinalfish. The larger Guadalupe cardinalfish seemed to dominate the pink cardinalfish forcing it to the outer open- ing of the crevice. An individual pink cardinalfish was observed at North Coro- nado Island, Baja California, Mexico, 11 November 1998 (E. Hessel, pers. coram.). On 25 May 1998, Robert Snodgrass and Hugh Khim observed several pink cardinalfish in La Jolla Canyon, and in May 1998, several were collected by McConnaughey and Zerokski from the same location (Lea and Rosenblatt 2000). Family Scaridae Nicholsina denticulata (Evermann and Radcliffe 1917), loosetooth parrotfish Previous reported range: Bahia Magdalena to Peru including the Gulf of Cal- ifornia and the Galapagos Islands (Thomson et al. 1987). Remarks.—Erik Erickson photographed both male and female loosetooth par- rotfish, Nicholsina denticulata, off Pebbly Beach and Casino Point, Santa Catalina Island in May 1999 (Lea et al. 2001). This species was observed at the San Benito Islands, Baja California, Mexico in August 1998 (R. N. Lea and D. Richards, pers obs.) and photographed at Guadalupe Island, Baja California, Mexico in July 2000. Loosetooth parrotfish are well adapted to kelp beds. The coloration and shape allow it to be very cryptic, especially among Eisenia arborea Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Southern California Academy of Sciences.
