Lunchtime ASX small cap wrap: Which small caps are one-of-a-kind today?

Most Stockhead readers have probably seen a manta stingray at some point.
But it’s a good bet no one’s ever seen a pink one.
The unique ray with a pink belly was snapped swimming at the Great Barrier Reef by photographer Kristian Laine this week.
Staff at the University of Queensland have been studying the animal for a few years, since it was first spotted in 2015.
While it was initially thought the unique colour was due to some kind of infection, researchers ruled that out and determined the bright pink underbelly was just a natural skin variation.
Back on the markets, local stocks were competing to be the most unqiue of the bunch as the ASX200 climbed 0.50 per cent to 7,181 points, while the Small Ords climbed 0.76 per cent to 3,092 points.

There were sharp falls across a range of sectors to start the day, as a number of companies paid the price for half-year reports that didn’t meet the market’s expectations.
Telecoms infrastructure company Over The Wire (ASX:OTW) was among the losers, as the stock fell more than 15 per cent following the release of its December half-year report accompanied by an investor presentation.
