Shiro utsuri- motoguro

What typically happens to the motoguro in a case like this? I'm sure there is a term for the "sanke type" rays on the pec fins on this fish. Do they typical pull together and form motoguro?

Have to agree with Dick, the motoguro as messy as it looks now will slowly pull in tighter as the rest of the sumi on the body finishes off. The lead ray of the pecs are clear so that tells me that it will pull in tighter towards the base of the pecs. Nice Shiro, who is the breeder?

The breeder of the shiro is Omosako. The breeder of the Goshiki is Kuniyasu Hiroi. The shiro interests me because there is so much potential for change.

well if that ain't a scaled komunryu .....I'll predict that the sanke pec black will become too tight a ball of motoguro...or next to no motoguro.

think the term you're looking for is tejima. And, yes, I would expect that it should pull back nicely.
