SRC Member Tanzy Posted December 29, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 29, 2003 Juvenile surgeons often have a different colouration from adult so it's harder to differentiate.

ruel Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 I just got this few days ago and I kept it in my QT. The LFS where I got it don't know its name either. Judging from its shape and from its color (althought it might change) it could be Mimic Eibli Tang or Tomini Bristletooth Tang. The lower portion of its fin although not obvious in the pic has a light blue trimming while the upper has a light orange trimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
