Ok so its probably not but somewhere I heard that have some yellow tint to their fins and this guy does. Hes about 4-5" and my LFS doesnt even know there are different kinds of them ha ha. If its an armatus I will have a heart attack! :headbang2

Sorry the pics arnt the best...he was still in the bag. I can get better ones tomorrow!

I tried to take like 30 but the macro on my girlfriends camera wasn't working well.
