Tang's 50g skimmerless, pics pg2
 
I just bought a new fish today and I think his name will be jabba because his face reminds me of the big dude from starwars. I won't have any pics till tommorow as my baterries from my camera died but I found this pic on the net and it's pretty much accurate. I was wondering if anyone knows the name as I looked through 45 pages of images and only saw 3pics of these beauties?

I found something on nanoreef that says it may be a Variegated Jawfish (Opistognathus solorensis)

although it could be a tbc jawfish aswell....

anyhow whatever he is he's really neat in the sense that he has a hot red head with cool blue/green body!!
