Nice spots. Is it "open" all the way?

Dot, yes it is fully opened

I usually dont like Ophidiums because they're brown and crinkly looking but that's a nice one.

I have been corrected in the genus spelling...it should be Ophidion

Funny, that's what I typed first but I corrected it to what you had Ron. I guess I was mind-melded!
When I first saw these on Lynn O'Shaugnessey's site I thought "ugly crab-claws", but this one is nice.
