Lab Specimen ID

Maaka · 02/25/2014, 02:31 PM

I Was in my girlfriends EEOB lab today and noticed a jar with an unlabeled specimen. I asked the professor what it was but he didn't know (his specialty is salamanders).

Just curious and want to know what species it is so I can let the professor know

Thanks

Kind of looks like a mandarin dragonet...
What's the approximate size?

There's 3 in what looks like a baby food jar.
1"
1.5"
2"

They are not very big.

I was going to say a damsel of some sort.. pattern isn't too far off a misbar clown.. better pics would certainly help..

Hopefully these are better.

I don't know why it keeps turing the picture.
