Probably Takifugu poecilonotus, possibly Takifugu niphobles. The specific banding on id pics seems to vary wildly so it makes it hard to say for sure.

Sorry I cant help with ID, seems like Haley nailed it. I did have one similar to yours, but it had orange markings. I forgot what it was called. Anyhow, seems they like sand. Not sure if you have him in qt now, but sand in the future.
I uploaded 2 pics. they are huge , I didn't edit before hand. GL http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/pi...ictureid=79225 http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/pi...ictureid=79226 Last edited by Sweeper13; 02/09/2018 at 12:35 AM. |
