That would be correct. Halichoeres Biocellotus, often called Red Christmas wrasse. It is transitioning.Hi.
Wonder if anyone can help me indentifidentify this wrasse. I've been told it's a juvenile Christmas wrasse but it's 2" long and doesn't seem juvenile lol
Thank you. Tbh it's front colouration is stunning and has beautiful gold lines down its back. The Christmas wrasses I have seen are fully colored so did wonder. Thanks againThat would be correct. Halichoeres Biocellotus, often called Red Christmas wrasse. It is transitioning.

Many wrasses are cleaners as juveniles. Most of the sand-burying species, as well as Pseudocheilinus, and of course Labroides and Larabicus and Labropsis.I was watching my tiny Radiant Wrasse cleaning my Powder Brown Tang last night. The tang was enjoying it. I didn't realize they were cleaners as juveniles.
That's good to know. It's very entertaining watching them.Many wrasses are cleaners as juveniles. Most of the sand-burying species, as well as Pseudocheilinus, and of course Labroides and Larabicus and Labropsis.
Halichoeres hortulanus is not safe with motile inverts and will flip small corals.Was wondering if he is reef safe ???
What is this guy??? He sold before I had a chance to see his stats. I've never seen this wrasse before, very cool.
