Florida Keys Fish ID PLEASE!

Hi guys six years ago I took this pic of this awesome school of fish hanging around a huge purple sea fan. Anyone have any idea what they are? No fish site or chart has them that I can find.

Young blue headed wrasses Female don't see any super males in the photo

Awesome. Thank you so much. Are they ever available??

They are rather easy to catch . clear jar and a sea urchin . work all the time :) not sure if they are reef safe

Available in the hobby, yes; but not very well suited for a reef tank.

Thanks all. Stumbled on this vid while researching them. Definitely a compelling notion about why lion fish should stay...

Interesting video never heard of a good ecology pro towards lion fish in the Atlantic .

This guy thinks damselfish are the cause of the decline of arcos and reef decline ! Only good lionfish in the Atlantic is a dead one !
