So yours is interesting, it looks like a female melanurus but I know it's been identified by Hunter as chrysotaenia. Your (now) male doesn't look like a typical chrysotaenia which is interesting.

Yup, although how juvenile is it as I’ve only ever seen the green juvies in captivity

I'm roughly guessing without googles help:
  1. Redtail flasher
  2. Earmuff
  3. Christmas
  4. Red breasted maori
  5. ornate
  6. mystery
  7. female lunate
  8. black tip reef shark (which should definitely not be available to hobbiests)
