ID this (scorp?)

[AlexS95]

Saw this at an LFS, but the guy didn't know what it was. I think it is a Scorp, but I don't know which...

Was small, about an inch and a half.

my guess is its from this family, go down the right side and google each one until you find one that looks like it

whatever it is I would grab it

 

[AlexS95]

Normally, I would have, but I got this instead:

It was $30 for the lion or $38 for the little guy. :worried:

 

[nateqt]

oh **** thats a nice lion

 

[AlexS95]

LOL That's the same reaction I had...

I'm selling my fuzzy tomorrow, finally caught him, been beating up my male barberi, sad day

 

[AlexS95]

I was worried about mine getting along... If it comes to it I will move the barberi to my 65, but I might lose a few smaller fish. :/ When I put (him/her?) in today, the barberi looked at 'em, but then swam right back to his cave.

 

[nateqt]

then it should be fine, the second I added mine the fuzzy started chasing him down, if you notice torn up fins then something's up though

 

[AlexS95]

Moment of truth just came, the fuzzy went into the cave. They had a stare off, but then nothing happened. :bounce1:

 

[nateqt]

just keep watch for a few days and see if they have any battle wounds, which one is bigger and what size tank?

 

[AlexS95]

The barberi is bigger by about an inch. Right now, they are in a 20, but I'm just trying to decide how big of an upgrade I need.

Both look awesome! Did they know where the scorpion came from? Did it have bands accross the back? Looking at it from the front it looks like one I saw about a year or so ago, cant quite remember the name but I know it was from around Australia or that was at least part of the range.

I am not sure what kind of scorpion is in the first pic. But nice find on the fuzzy, the yellow is quite uncommon.

:lol: :lol:

Dood...you're as bad as we are!!!

I agree, from what I can see it does look like a Sebastapistes sp. if not, possibly Scorpaenodes.

Pretty lion and pretty little scorp!

It's all your fault really. :lmao: If they still have him next Sunday when I go back I might pick him up, but I'm running out/ran out of room in this tank... I do have an old 5g I don't have set up he might be okay in, he was small...
