ID this Scorp

Of course, color can vary a bit, but they're generally pretty close.

Send Frank a PM and ask him to take a peek.

Thats pretty close id say.. you have the lighter outside, to the yellow, to the black and spots and then the other fins match up pretty good color wise too... From my semi-limited know-how and what not that looks pretty close..

What do you think here Greg. Thats the best I can get at this time, he is currently hiding out pretty well, and as he is pretty new, I dont need to stess him by chasing him with a stick. But that gives us a few pics between page 1 and 2..

I like how this turned into a multiple ID thread somehow.. sorry to steal your limelight Alex.

Also, this sometimes works when you know where you get the fish from.. but here is a listing for Northwestern Atlantic USA area..

http://www.fishbase.org/identificat...de=21&c_code=840&spines=&fins=&sortby=species - the only real one from that area is the Spotted or Plumieri

Mine had 57 listings for Indonesia, which I had to call and bug LFS for, he looked it up and found where it came from. 4 of which looked close at first glance, which are the Neglecta, Macrochir, Gibbosa, Diabolus.

I want to say Neglecta due to some similarities in the photos I saw, which are the different textured skin right behind the head that looks more like skin than scale, the 2 black bars on the tail, and the stuff around the face (circi or somthing) which I dont see on the Diablous..

I don't mind, more attention to the thread. :thumbsup:

I think we are settled there.

You have a Plumieri.
I have a Neglecta.
We both have cool scorps.
