its definately a bristle tooth of sorts. not a lavender, but some kind of bristletooth. congrats they are great. they constantly pick at the rocks and sand to keep your tank clean

thats for sure you would think this fish had been starved the way its going about my sandbed and rocks, especially since new piece of live rock is covered in calupra fern.
