[Terryz_]

Any Toby expert can ID this?

Juvenile Solandri? or Margaritata?

The best my handphone can do...

So it is Canthigaste Solandri?

Any more input from any experts...

Well, I wouldn't call me an expert by any means, but considering the picture and the knowledge I do have, it looks more like a c. solandri than a c. margaritata. Beautiful fish, though!

Looks identical to the Blue Spot Tobies I dove with in Hawaii.. any indication from the LFS on its origin at least?

It was a accident caught that got shipped in with other normal toby from philippines but toby are very wide range from what I know, so it is very difficult to pin point the exact species.

The thing is solandri, have connecting lines in between the head which is absent in mine.. Yes, it is a beautiful fish, I paid a bit more for it as the LFS could not find the species and quote...

It is a beautiful fish, I am just so curious as it doesnt match C. Solandri in terms of patterns, or is the spots and lines very variable??
