I really couldn't help it...

Nearly a week ago, I walked into the LFS I used to work at and saw the most beautiful 5" male O. scyllarus in their frag tanks (not always the brightest people in the world; they know better they just don't care).

I thought $60 was a little high at first, but I found he was well worth it after bringing him home and putting him in a spare 55g acrylic (that's been up and running for almost a year).

His unofficial name is Ebola, but it could stick.

FYI: The last photo was taken with flash, which I really didn't want to do, but I wanted to get a clear shot of him.
