I think - but I'm not an expert on Syno's. The long dorsal fin is the key I'm using, along with colouration/pattern.

I'd trust the previous answers.

Yes, I asked this already, but as you can tell the fish has different coloration/pattern now. It may be a little easier to identify with this pic versus the previous pics.

I believe that when this fish grows to adult size it will certainly be Eupterus. These fish have a ton of variability when young I've heard and this one looks exactly like mine when it was a juvie.

It's too young for a feathery dorsal.
