Long or Short Spined

[Wreckingball76]

Gents,

I'm after some confirmation. I'm 90% confident that this is a Long Spined Sea Scorpion, however the fold on the Throat membrane went all the way across like on a Short Spined. This is why I'm not entirely sure.

What do you think??



Cheers

Am unsure wreckingball, what I will say is that all the small short spines I've caught have a rounder appearance in general.

That's the pic I always refer to but after seeing a real photo on the species hunt I would 100% agree. Cheers

I guess there is always going to be variations within any species aswell so I guess sometimes it's not that easy to tell....

Could hybridization be a factor,it can happen with some fresh water speicies:question:question:
