Is there always such a prominent sexual dimorphism with this species? And if so, only once the male reaches maturity, or throughout most of its adult life?

Beautiful Togo Starburst Ts. I don't see very many posting these. Are yours as defensive as what I have heard?

They can be, but I don't bother them a whole lot...just for a pic every now and then.

There is pretty prominant dimorphism but only once the male reaches maturity. The males are far less striking than their female counterparts.
