Fish id help

[Mr. Gonzalez]

I searched for a main thread bit didn't find one specific. Can I get an id on this guy.

It is a wrasse but to be more specific more photos under different lighting will be very helpful.

This about as best as I could get.

That’s not a wrasse, it’s either a Gramma species or a Pseudochromis species. I would say it’s a Pseudochromis yamasakii which is a relatively new fish from Japan discovered in October of 2016.

I agree with this. Def a pseudochromis. My guess on species is the Brown Dottyback (Pseudochromis fuscus).

I mixed up yamasakii with fuscus I agree with you.

Agreed with the above, it is a pseudochromis sp.. Some can be very not reef safe. I had one smashing open snail shells, and he was PIA to catch.......

 

[Sean Clark]

Yea I was wrong. The shape of the pupil visible in the last pic definitely says pseudochromis.

 

[Mr. Gonzalez]

He was in a tank with a royal gramma and between the 2 have destroyed everything in it. Fish was definitely a pain to catch. Thanks for the help.
