woah, sorry to give you a false alarm, IDK the name, but it is a B UTE!

 

[DnA Corals]

Haha thanks. I went to one of my lrs today and saw it and the owner didn't know what it was either. He's never seen it before. It was only 30 bucks so I snatched it up quick. Beautiful creature and very friendly!!

Flashers wrasse of some kind is my guess

 

[andip3]

man haha thats going to drive me crazy I have seen this before but cannot think of the name

Pattern kinda reminds me of my melanurus wrasses, but the color isn't quite the same. Christmas wrasse maybe? But again, the colors seem far better than most that I have seen.

A sweet find for sure though!

Neither of those; it still might be a Halichoeres however.

Nope.


From what I can see right now, it's a Pseudocheilinus octotaenia (Indonesian variant, male). But I need a better picture myself to confirm that.
