That's a G. miliaris. Check the eye. G. melatremus has a blue retina with a vertical black bar through it (see below).

Thanks. I've been a member of RC for years and just came across this site. Simply amazing. The information is very concise. The pictures from the Dr. make me drool. Do you think you would be able to keep a millaris and a mellatramus together? Thanks for the response. I have a Melatramus coming next week. Thanks tim

Do you think I can keep millaris and melanarus together if I put the Melenarus in first? The Melenarus that is coming is 9" and the Mill. I have on hold is 7". Thanks Tim

Maybe for a short time if they are similarly sized and you have a large tank, but the G. miliaris gets much bigger eventually. I would keep G. melatremus in its own small reef tank (30-ish gallons) by itself where it might be better appreciated, and G. miliaris in a much larger (180+) FO tank.
