    its hard to say because it is so pulled back. I think it is a blasto however.......
    What you want to do is make sure you target feed that puppy as it is starving and receeding. Start with some fine particle food like Coral freenzy and then as it gets bigger add meaty food like mysis. It looks pretty though!

    could be but it looks like it is starved and that is why it has receeded. You can see (at least from pic) the skeleton on many of the pieces, esp the middle one.
