Red Head Jawfish

[AWExotics]

I have only ever seen one of these and wanted to know if anyone had any more info on this fish. Jawfish are one of my favorite fish to keep. I picked this up from a wholesaler. It was the only one I saw that day and I have not seen any since. I have had her for 2 years and she is doing great.

And of course his normal position:

I am looking for an ID (Genus species) and any info as to what part of the world she is from. Any help would be appreciated.

I did a search online and found there is an "Indonesian Red Jawfish" -- that's probably what you have. It didn't say what the Latin name was though. I'm in SoCal it would be great if they got more of those at some point -- I have two Yellowheads and a Blue Spot and would love to have one of those in my tank!

Thanks, Joya,.. I will look more into it. I am hoping somebody else has seen them before. I would love to find some more of these. She is probably the most popular fish in my shop except of course the kids Nemo and Dory choices.
