Funny how Clown Plec is used so frequently 'coz that's what my new plec is called and it looks completely different to yours. Smile

Actually, maybe it's just the photo but, to my eye, they look very different. The one in the profile photo has wider bands on its tail, it doesn't have a lyretail as yours does and it has spots on its face which yours doesn't! No wonder it's so hard to identify these plecs when there's so much variation...Smile

Yours actually looks more like a Flash Plec to me as in the photo below. We'll have to wait for our resident Plec expert to decide...:lol:

I am the first to admit that Id's are not my strong point but I do think it is a Clown Plec not a Flash Plec, they are very similar though.

I bow to your superior knowledge then...maybe what I was eyeing up in the LFS was a Clown Plec too! :lol:
