my lfs has this 6" snapper that is all silver with one or two blue lines close to its vertical line. i really like it but the guy at the store has no clue wat sp it is or how big it gets. he ordered it as a blue-line snapper at like 1.5". i was thinkin about picking it up and growing it out to see how big it really gets because i like it and its fairly cheap. i tried to find it online and all i can find is a blue and gold snapper (Lutjanus viridis) or blue line snapper (Lutjanus coeruleolineatus). both get between 12"-15". I think its more closely related to the viridis. it has generally the same body shape but the colors are slightly different. anyone have an idea of wat sp it is? i will most likely pick it up tomorrow so ill get pics. thats if the store doesnt have any dwarf fuzzy lions for less than 50$ lol.
 
I think all snapper get kinda big, make sure you have a big tank for it. good luck. you got a pic? I wanted to see waht it look like.
