Spots? On the caudal penducle? Check out pg. 385 of "Marine Fishes. A PocketExpert Guide", by Scott Michael. That fish shows two spots on the caudal penducle, otherwise the two fish are very similar. I'm thinking the pic posted here does not show the caudal penducle spots due to the angle? Could be wrong.

Cheers,
