The mystery has been solved. I have had these stomatella's ever since I started my tank, didnt know what kind they were. I had sent pics out all over the world via email to specialists. Nobody knew what it was exactly. finally heard back form one that identified it, and it does look like it. So its not as special as we thought, lol. But I apparently have babies now, lol. Just noticed 3 little guys in the tank. Here is a bad pic of one, ya gotta remember this is less then half an inch long, so that explains the blurry pic.

lol thanks....

When I found out how many I have, I might be giving some away. There is atleast 3. I saw all 3 of them within 4 inches of each other, so there has to be more. I could have sworn I saw a smaller one the other day.
