No kidding. Here I thought the spot on the tail was a give away. My lesson for the day!
Quite a few species have an eye spot like that as a juvi. Most species lose it at maturity - but not all species do.

I was doing a Google search on "Melanarus Wrasse" for some related husbandry data, and came across a fish I've never seen before:
https://pixels.com/featured/melanurus-wrasse-bill-tiepelman.html

Anyone have a name (or any other info) on this fish (which is apparently a wrasse)? Like where they
come from, where they are available, and at what cost?

TIA...

That is a Male Potter Leopard wrasse that have been Photo-shopped.
This is the picture we are talking about

Identified by the LFS as a Blue Pencil Wrasse. I cannot figure out what this guy is. Ideas?

This is the one I posted about a week or three ago. Under actinics only, this fish is much bluer - the tail has blue, black blue vertical stripes, but with the MH lights on, the red really comes out and the blue disappears. The fish is an easy +5 inches long.
