THERE would not be better to make an aquarium Stiphodon for each habitat?
It is thought that the normal is not likely this color of the body like much other Stiphodon.
I cannot distinguish S.atropurpureus from S.semoni.
I think that it is difficult to distinguish a Stiphodon close species only with a picture.
