Nope, these Taiwan Reef came from Artie's.
Definitely not hybrid, just a juvenile who is starting to strut his stuff.

I agree with fish here. I've kept this species before, and now I only keep and breed the Albino's of these. Depending on tank size, this species is pretty mild for an African too. My adults all stay in my 180, and I have 3 adult males in there, all three show color, just one shows more then the rest. There are no challenges for top dog among the three. Occaisonally there will be some chasing off of a space, but nothing prolonged and extended.

You give that male a few more months and he's gonna start showing a bright cherry red on that body if he sees a female.
