Chelmonops curiosus Kuiter 1986, the Western Talma. A cold water species from the western and southern coasts of Australia. Generalized diet of invertebrates and algae. To ten inches in overall length. Aquarium image.

Chelmonops truncatus (Kner 1859), the Eastern Talma. Similar to the Eastern species, but with trailing tips to its dorsal and anal fins. Distribution limited to lower eastern coast of Australia.

Brrr! It's cold here... with Great Whites!
