Eh i have marine atlas... but the picture is not int eh page your describe, in fact it is in page #121..... Hope your book and mine is the same version.. Anyway it is definatley not a female squrespot and what i think should be a female squaminpinnis...

And BTW astroboi.... you should not buy fish when you dunno what species it is and also what requirement and it need. That is a deadly sin of a reefer and one sould not do it.

hahah i am not work up maybe the smiley i put seem to make me look as though i am angry... I just dislike someone to buy fish which they dunno what it is and then put into their tank.(Let some auntie in a particular lfs who bought 3 red sea golden butt and put them into their reef, god knows what will happen )

aiyah you take a better pic first lah, den talk abt id... Anyway I will still hold onto my stand, it looks liek a female squaminpinnis
