Heh... Sometimes my patience is short on an off day.lol!
Yes, that is a male lubbocki.
It appears so, yes.Picked this guy up today off LADD. What do you think? Possible hybrid flavianalis x filamentosus?
Thanks!

Pseudojuloides splendens (male)Hi, any ideas on this one? I now he is a Pencil Wrasse (Pseudojuloides Fowler), but which type please?
Pseudojuloides splendens (male)
That's a mature H. biocellatus.H. ornatissimus or claudia? I bought it a few months ago as a small juvenile (about 1.5") thinking it was claudia but it has grown quickly (almost 3.5" now), is pretty dominant and just wrecks inverts. I have a hard time telling from pictures online as there seems to be a lack of consistency (and knowledge). Temperament seems more what is described here as ornatissimus. Either way, think I'll have to trade him in at the LFS .
Well darn! That had crossed my mind as well but descriptions of them being docile and reef(invert)-safe had me thinking otherwise. This guy is super active and a voracious predator who is the dominant fish in the tank. Guess that shows how variable any given individual might be.That's a mature H. biocellatus.

90 gallon (4') reef tank shared with 2 ocellaris, 1 yellow tail flasher wrasse, 1 pintail wrasse, 1 king midas blenny, and 1 foxface so not very crowded. I had a diamond watchman goby just disappear and not sure if the biocellatus is to blame. He has always been really been really active and only aggressive with new fish but an acclimation box seemed to fix that for the most-part. Snails and shrimp will get eaten almost immediately even if introduced carefully in the dark.I've had one for about 3 months, so I'm curious.. What size tank/fellow inhabitants? Was it always aggressive?
Like you, all I've read about them is they're peaceful and mostly invert safe. Bummer yours has a mean streak
Definitely biocellatus, and probably rubripinnis.Hello guys, I'd appreciate a quick look as I confirm these two:
They were sold as H. Claudia and C. Rubripinnis... I'm pretty sure it's actually a Biocellatus rather than a Claudia, which I'm totally fine with - do the experts agree? I'm curious if the Rubripinnis labelling holds up also, though to my inexperienced eye it looks plausible.
