Aquarium Fish: The 'Eyes' Have it: A Review of Eye Health in Aquarium Fishes
By Jay Hemdal

Aquarium Fish: Physical Crypsis: Mimicry and Camouflage
By Aaron Sewall
As predators become more adept at catching prey, the prey must find novel ways of evasion and predators that have not evolved the speed and agility posessed by their prey, they must find more stealthy methods of hunting. This has culminated in an amazing array of methods of camouflage and mimicry that has given aquarists and divers some beautiful and unusual organisms to look at.

By James W. Fatherree, M.Sc.
While you might never see a porcellanus for sale, there's always the chance you will, and hippopus is easy enough to acquire if you want one. So, keep all of this information in mind and do what it takes to keep them alive and well should you make a purchase.
