Hey anyone ID this one.

Porcupumpkin!

That is your common North American Cucurbita holocanthus. What makes it rare is the carved appearance and the fact that it appears to possibly be bio-luminescent. Be real careful around this species, I've heard tell of them jumping out of their aquarium and smashing on the road when presented with a teenager (Homo ignoramus).

I'll need a clear side shot for a proper ID. At least the pectoral fin rays show up well in this photograph.

any way to sex or breed these?
