I had time to reference some photos this morning and I think your right. It just shows that you cannot categorize based on the common species of a genus!....now how can I get a piece!?

it's not too hard to find, it comes in time to time with aquaculture shipments. And it usually gets passed over by most people. The orange morph is really striking, lights up like a christmas tree under actinics.

Yeah, the orange morph does look sweet as well, thanks!

Oh yeah, Ephraim. I remember when I bought it at Red Coral and you said that you had been looking at it. Did you ever find another one?

i haven't seen one since then unfortunately. One of these days i'll snap one up.
