Moorish Idol Genesis (Zanclus cornutus) — Digital Soul #008

An entire family of fishes, represented by one living species.

Zanclidae contains exactly one survivor: Zanclus cornutus. Every other member is known only from fossils. When you look at a Moorish idol trailing its long white dorsal filament over the reef, you are looking at the last of a lineage.

This is the strongest rarity claim in the CECOZ Genesis collection — and it is a taxonomic fact, not a marketing line.

Note: some sources still list this species as Zanclus canescens. That name is a synonym dating to a 1758 double description; Zanclus cornutus is the accepted binomial. CECOZ records the correct name on-chain.
