Looks like S. lucipinnis to me, but I'm not the biggest expert on Synos on this forum. Await confirmation from Richard B, Birger et. al.

Although perhaps not the most typical individual in some of the pics, this looks like lucipinnis to me. :D How many are there? The large random body spots/blotches give it away as this species - it looks relatively small though.
