When I saw him, I had to have him. He is very awesome looking. I found him in my travels in N.Y. Hector was just hanging out looking for a new friend.

Gonodactylus platysoma that live in light sandy areas with lots of sea grass or green algae often develop this light green coloration. Still, the species typical orange spots, red antennules and whitish green eyes remain true.
