Lemon Butterfly or Spotfin?

devimik · 04/19/2018, 11:58 PM

This small Butterfly was sold to me by an LFS as a Lemon (Milletseed), but it looks more to me like a Spotfin. Problem is the Lemon is more yellow and has the black spots in vertical lines, which this one doesn't have, but the Spotfin has yellow pectoral fins and this one has whitish to bluish pectoral fins. What do you think? he's about the size between a quarter and half-dollar.
