Sixteen species had two or more colour morphs and 11 species showed a limited distribution in the study area. They were all rock-dwellers. Distributional borders of the color morphs and species with a limited distribution mostly lay in two long sandy beaches, 7 and 13 km long. We suggest that the long sandy beaches can be effective barriers against dispersal of shallow-water rock-dwelling cichlid fishes.
