We report here, for the first time, the predation activity of the French angelfish Pomacanthus paru on the jellyfish Chrysaora lactea on Brazilian rocky reefs. The activity involved a group of 14 P. paru and was documented by pictures. We believe that temporarily available food resources benefit species with a more generalist diet.

We report here, for the first time, the existence of a white colour morph Elacatinus figaro, an endemic threatened cleaner goby from the Brazilian Coast. The specimen from this study lived in a cleaning station along with other E. figaro. Records were made based on pictures and the specimen was collected and preserved for genetic studies. Although the strong bright yellow colour is of vital importance for attracting other fish to the cleaning station, we speculate that living alongside regular-coloured individuals can diminish the disadvantage of not having the flashy stripe.
