I'm debating purchasing a quarantined jeweled leopard wrasse (Halichoeres lapillus)... does anyone have any experience with this wrasse? Even though it is classified as a Halichoreres, it looks just like a leopard wrasse, which makes me apprehensive with shipping. Thanks!

Yes, it has taxonomically bounced back and forth a few time between H and M. Behaves just like the ‘real’ leopard wrasse. I’ve had two. First one through DD in 2013 that passed recently, presumably from old age as it had been looking pretty ragged for a while. Second one I picked up from NYAquatic and it’s been in QT now for about 5 weeks.
