A newly described species of brown-and-white Philippine butterflyfish-the charismatic Roa rumsfeldi-made a fantastic, 7,000-mile journey before surprising scientists with its unknown status. Live specimens collected from 360 feet beneath the ocean`s surface in the Philippine`s Verde Island Passage escaped special notice until a single black fin spine tipped off aquarium biologists back in San Francisco. Deep-diving researchers from the California Academy of Sciences` Hope for Reefs team-with genetic sequencing help from a parent-son team-share their discovery of a fifth species of Roa this week in ZooKeys.
