Petenia splendida, red bay Snook.

Nice pick up for 10 bucks. How big is it?

I agree with polomax, they have a lot of color varients.

Definitely a snook, though I wouldn't have been able to tell you which one

reefman · Aug 27, 2005

about 5" how big do they get

guppy · Aug 27, 2005

According to Dr. Axelrod they get around 14" but he has been wrong before.
This is one of the color pattern varients.
