I picked up what I think is a G. Chiragra today at a LFS, and I just want to confirm that is what it is. It is only about 2 inches long, and it has white merle spots that have a black dot towards the end pointing towards the end of the appendage (I think). Sorry the pictures aren't very good, and it is holding a piece of krill.

Looks like a chiragra to me.

I don't think so. More likely N. wennerae. Can you get a shot of the telson.

Thank you for the input, and sorry it has taken me a while to get more pictures.

It is a male Gonodactylus chiragra.

I should always wait to see the key characters before making a call.
