+1 It's a pink fenestrtus that may eventually peel off some or all the dark pigments.
I can agree there is Fene there, bu if it was gonna peel, it would ve shouldve done that looong ago. So I dont think it is that. But if it does all of a sudden now, then it it can be Pink fene x BB

???

My pink fene looks like the OP pic before the dark pigments peeled away. An incomplete peel off will turn into a marble fene. My avatar is a blue fene, so I am familiar with the body markings.

Animal Guy, what fish is in your avatar. Great color and body profile. Is the color true or enhanced?

this was her wen she was a baby picking on her sister. Her color is pretty deep in the right mood.

No blackbelt looks like a Fenestratus to me.
