Hi everyone,

It lifted up one of its sides the other day, I grabbed the camera and took a few pictures..
Not a really clear picture but this is the best I can do with the camera I have.

I know this is a bad picture but you can see its foot better in this pic.

Looking nice!

How large is it when expanded?

Thanks Randy, it is almost 15inches now.

That is definitely not a Chrysopterus, that's an Akyndinos everyday of the week. Akyndinos are blue-striped too but they usually have a narrow second band an overall brown body color.

Nice anemone BTW.

I noticd that too but i got shot down. I have a huge pair of akinydos and they looks exactly the same.

I am not going into a debate on whether my fish is a chrysopterus or not since this thread is about my Mertensii. I have a thread about my Chrysopterus, if you want to talk about my fish on there cool.
