Red and green are both the same species just different common names, both Synchiropus splendidus. They are awesome little fish!

Not so sure about that. LA, Blue zoo and Saltwaterfish.com all list them seperately. With the Red costing more money. They do have different looks. Most list the red as Synchiropus splendidus cf. with the cf. meaning a different color form.

Is she red or green then?

Here is what Blue Zoo lists as Red. I'd say yours is green.

 

[Robink]

I believe that's a green one.

Red ones have more red all over.

Either way... I think your specific mandarin is a beautiful coloration.
