Re: AAAhqualog
Ken,
A. sp. Blue-head has the tail pattern of A. luelingi, that's for certain. It's such a
poorly posed photo that it's hard to tell, but it looks like the anal fin has only 3
spines (A. luelingi usually has 4). It doesn't show extended anterior dorsal lappets
either, but this might be a young fish. The female has a caudal spot, something A.
luelingi females normally don't show. It probably is A. luelingi, but I can't be sure
from these photos. On the other hand, I wonder if the editors put the wrong photo on the
page for A. caetei (Blue-head).

p.s. Do you think you could take your book to you work station? It sure would be great
to have more than one opinion on some of these fish. The last thing I want is to have
someone not answer for fear of making an error in ID. We all blow it sometime
(especially me).
