Fish I’d

[SebastianReefer]

So my question is what kind of fish is this and is he good bad to have I bought a 125 gallon setup and fish came with setup

Definitely a wrasse. A clearer picture would be helpful, thanks.

I’ll try the fish doesn’t have any color just a black line down his body and a black spot on both sides of body

It could be this. It’s a sand burying wrasse and it looks like you’ve got a sand bed. It gets to a max of 5” so not a problem at all. How deep is your sand bed? Peaceful fish, shouldn’t cause much trouble for the fish you put in afterwards, but the general rule is to introduce the most aggressive species last.

So there's no yellow or blue on the body?

Looks like a thalassemia wrasse to me, face looks too rounded to be halichoeres. I think Thalassoma bifasciatum, Blunthead wrasse?

No no color maybe a light tint skin color on the top of body

Yes very hard to get a clear pic of him this looks the closest I’ve seen to what he may be

I agree it looks like a Bluehead wrasse, but no color is interesting.

That’s not a Halichoeres. Thalassemia would be my guess. If I am correct they tend not to be the most gentle of wrasses. Ask an expert though @evolved @OrionN

 

[lebreef]

looks like a transitioning Thalassoma amblycephalum but photos not clear enough

It's a transitioning bluehead wrasse, Thalassoma bifasciatum.

Not the best photo, but I agree it looks like a transitioning Blueheaded Wrasse. I believe one (male/female? Can’t recall) has less blue and more yellow-green that the other.
