Is this H claudia or H ornatissimus? I've never been able to tell them apart
Well, that may be even better than what I hoped for! Thanks!neither! it's halichoeres biocellatus
Yes, that's H. biocellatus, and an adult male.Is this H claudia or H ornatissimus? I've never been able to tell them apart
Yeah, I'm still behind on this thread, but the past month has been non stop for me. I'm literally typing on a Disneyland shuttle after doing my RAP presentation just now, lol.
that's mine a few months ago. the one you posted and mine look similar in size/color now and i want to say not quite male but maybe subadult? hopefully evolved weighs in so we can find out
and i can't recommend one enough. she's a great fish, doesn't fight with anyone, but also doesn't take crap from my more rude fish like my photo bombing flame angel. i also have a h. chrysus and my cleanup crew is still going strong, so they aren't big invert munchers, but neither is full male either
I see C. rubeus almost certainly (90%?), but there's some chance it's C. rubripinnis instead.I have this little wrasse, he was sold as a pintail but I dont believe he is. He never really flashes but he looks like some sort of flasher maybe filamented?
Hes the one infront of the flame wrasses. Hard to get a good pic bc he never slows down and when I get near the tank with the camera all the fish wanna be stars and swarm the glass
It doesnt seem to have those lower long fins. it does have a very pale yellow/off white belly and had a longer front dorsal finYes, that's H. biocellatus, and an adult male.

Females don't have those long fins, and it's just beginning to transition.It doesnt seem to have those lower long fins. it does have a very pale yellow/off white belly and had a longer front dorsal fin
Makes sense. Shes about 2 years old. And a feisty one. She put my 8line flasher(which was double her size) into hiding and well we know how that ended. Thank youFemales don't have those long fins, and it's just beginning to transition.

Yeah, the lack of eyespots is the tell-tale.no worries man, i always look forward to seeing how specific you and eatbreakfast get! like i wouldn't have thought that was a male just based on seeing other pics where the males seem to be so dark. is the tell tale sign the lack of eyespots?

The downside of being a mod: my alerts are in the hundreds and there's nearly a dozen emails in my inbox. Sooner or later I'll catch up, but a MACNA vacation is just around the corner.Hi,
I tagged you in a comment because I have a quick question for you. Not sure if you saw it because I haven't seen a response. Maybe I missed it somewhere.
Thanks
Yes, that's P. lineopunctatus.Can you identify this one? LFS said McCosker's but it doesn’t look like one to me. Color is more red with blue on the tail fin and some blue highlights. This is obviously stress colors. I can get a pic in the tank of needed but he hasn’t flashed since he has been in there that I have seen.
C. rubripinnis
Females of many species have tail spots.The black dot on that wrasse through me off.
Something of the C. cyanopleura complex; just beginning to transition.
