To the marulia? Only half grown at 24" :), mine is about 16", but the growth is fairly slow right now. Although some people think it is maruliodes (was bought as unidentified in jan last year - I hope so, then its only got a few inches left to grow :)

Very nice, I keep meaning to get an obsure, one of my fave SHs. Not far away at all, just one county across!

THe marulia is lovely, very friendly, although often hides if there are people he doesn't know around. When it is just me and dani he's always out begging for food.

Sort of. For the most common varieties. But there are tons of regional variations of both which is where the confusion comes in! Mine doesn't appear to be one of the more common ones either, i've only managed to find one picture with the same markings and it was unlabeled :)
