I bought it two to three years ago, and has had every opportunity to grow (in a tank where 12" S. acanthiomas grew up) and has topped out at almost 5". It is dark brown with some black spots in a pattern. It has big eyes like a pleurops (or a juvenile if it was in question), but the eyes are at the top of the head, not like the "hammerhead" look of S. pleurops.
