    I am leaning towards intermedius... just because the diphreutes is so rare in the hobby.

    I do know that the diphreutes is the only MOSTLY reef safe out the bunch. The intermedius is a close second, but will still devour most clams and inverts.

    The problem with this group is that it is very hard to differentiate between species. Most LFS will not have a clue. Research as much as you can looking at a ton of pictures. Even then, it is still hard.
