Both look very temporalis to me.

Snapped a couple pics... you tell me?

Sorry man Those are Temporalis Easier to differentiate after you owned both .

here are my Coryphaenoides.. You can clearly note that the Blotch that Both species have is located different.. THOUGH it can be hard to tell from that alone.. Still in Coryphaenoides it is HIGH where as Temporalis it looks high but not really if you have seen coryphaenoides.

Also the colors are actually different.. Many argue they are similar and that coryphaenoides can color like temporalis.. I have yet to see this similarity myself.. I could be wrong.. But I have yet to see it When young Temporalis even when stressed don't really get stripes or at least that is my experience form the few I have owned and the hundreds i've seen.

Next.. the Coryphaenoides will get yellows on the tops of their bodies in breeding season as well as when stressed.. Temporalis really doesn't..

Here are my Coryphaenoides I will get a pic of my temporalis as well hold up
