I suspect that if this specimen was labeled as a moke. That this teug very well be from a wild caught import. Misidentified somewhere in the distribution chain. Only available WC Teug i know selling is Toyin. We have to wait and see a better side photo from Charney ;)

Here's some juvie WC top view from Rehoboth Aquatics.

This is a tough one, but if I were to put my money on anything I'd say Teugelsi as well.

It's very hard too tell from the pattern and colors, looks like it could match both Teugelsi and Palmas Buettikoferi, and even Retropinnis I suppose. The fish does however seem to have the elongate appearance of a Teugelsi, and I've never seen a Buettikoferi with a head that flat.

Full, detailed side pictures please. Worst case scenario we'll count the scales lol.

If it really is a Teugelsi, then I suppose this is the real-life equivalent of legendary raid drop. It's arguable the rarest UJ poly you'll find in the hobby, even those actively looking for one will have a hard time landing one.
 
Legendary raid drop....sound like a destiny player.

I actually had a harder time finding my moke than I did my teug and I would think a wild caught sen (like my new one) would be even rarer either way Teugs are in my top 3 favorite pollis with the polli and sen being the other 2
