thanks, they sure are a pretty pair.

We first looked at tudorjonesi but doesnt match really. I had an ichthyologist buddie take a stab at it aswell and also cant find a 100% match, he thinks it might be a new species, hoping someone on here might know better.

Unfortunately supplier is super cryptic about where it was collected and dont want to share the info with me.

Stunning fish!!!

I can understand him not wanting to share the location. If you find those there, and other people found out, he'd lose his advantage on having a one of a kind fish. Those are sick fish by the way

I believe TMC in the UK received the same fish. They have a couple of photos posted on their Facebook Page. They are just calling them Flaming Scooter Blennies. You can get in touch with them for some additional info. I hope this helps!
