Indo or Aussie tusk?

[Bucs20fan]

Just bought this beauty today from my lfs. It was labeled as an indo, and that very well may be, but I’ve bought plenty mis identified over the years so figured I’d give the experts a crack at it!

Its about 6 inches long and is currently in qt.

either way it a beauty. what your QT process?

 

[Bucs20fan]

It’s just in observation at this point, as I got it today. Starting tomorrow it’s 7 days of prazi then 30 in coppersafe. The copper is gonna be slowly very slowly risen as I’ve read they are pretty sensitive to fast changes in copper

Bump again

Here ya go........there are probably a ton of variants but I remember seeing an Aussie in person it's like night and day.

Nice. What other reef inhabitants will he be joining?

 

[Bucs20fan]

So hes going in a fish only 180 with 4 different triggers, 2 eels and a coral cat shark. He’s going to be the last inhabitant. Albeit he will be the largest one in the tank currently. Other random tank mates is one mangrove snapper about 4 inches long and an Atlantic pinfish about 5 inches long.

Looks like an indo to me. The aussie that I have seen always have quite a bit more blue. Beautiful fish non the less.
