different specis of red wolf fish specis? need info.

[lix.ma14]

Hi i was wondering if there are separete specis of red wolf fish. i was on google images on 'red wolf fish" and there were images of two separete red wolf specises if you LOOK CAREFULLY in the pictures. there is the pictures of the somewhat"common" specis with the blunt mouth. There is also the more less seen version (in my opinion) with the sleeker mouth and with tiny black dots on it body, mostly the forehead. i have the red wolf with the black spots on it. Is it just that my wolf has some skin problems ( I high doubt it) or it a different wolf specis. i know there is the red wolf fish, red hi fin wolf, rainbow wolf, purple wolf and the red wolf peru. which one is mine? Sorry can't get pics. Check Google!

thanks.

First of all, you should forget all the common names...

There is Erythrinus erythrinus and that's it. There might be some variants called Erythrinus sp. (i.e. Peru) and the other genus Hoplerythrinus, but in general Erythrinus has only this one species.
