Thanks. Is that the main difference between it and B. coracoideus?

One. The posterior processess of the coracoids are longer and more prominent in coracoideus (hence the name).
From memory I think the anal fin ray count is different too.

That's good to know. I could easily have checked for that in the shop, too, because we had to search around for them in the substrate and were actually holding them for a moment out of the water.
Thanks, again.
