Thanks..I asked Scott (my fish guy) and he said it's very hard to tell until they get a lil older and an actual species difference is still in question..so either way I still like him.. thanks for the comment

I say Calvus as well. Calvus are longer and Compressorcepts have a shorter head.

Very pretty severum, but what happened to his fins? Maybe stress.
