I recently (last week) got a Red Hi-Fin Wolf Fish. I was reasearching them to make sure I got what I wanted. I thought I was looking for an Ery Ery when I came across this fish that was exactly the look I wanted. However it was labeled as Ery sp. Peru. So my question is which one do I have? What are the differances in behavior between the two? This guy seems more nocturnal (maybe because it's new) I do see it come out occasionally to hunt, which is pretty cool to watch. He's about 4.5" long. So what's the verduct?

That's what I thought too but the labeling had me scratching my head, thanks.
 
Thanks Doc, Mike from Rt 4 got him for me. We had an idea it might have been mislabeled from the source so I figured I'd ask for an ID check since I thought it was an Ery Ery and not a sp. peru. This is the frist time it's come out enough to get some pictures. Today it's been crusing around in the open so I guess it's finaly setteled in and comfortable. Rt 4 is a great place and Mike's a really good guy.
