Given your proximity to the Caribbean, T. bifasciatum would be more readily available in your local markets.I have no idea what part of the world it came from I got him with a tank and livestock I bought
It wasn't a matter of your pictures that gave me a bit of uncertainty, just the transitional nature of its development. But I'll wager $100 on T. bifasciatum. Time will make it more clear.

This one puzzles me more every time I see it! Which makes this quite fun for me, I might add.Is this fish a clear H. melanurus? I asked because she is about 5 inches, already larger than the max size listed by a variety of sources. And she is not, IMO, a terminal male yet. I am not even sure that she is a initial male. I saw 2 terminal male Malenurus at the LFS yesterday. Both are bright male even with the black tail edge, but both only about 2.5-3 inches. They seem petite in comparison to my female Melanurus.
Did I miss-ID this fish? Is she not a H. melanurus at all?
TIA
There's a clear horizontal stripe through the caudal that made me discount it.Is there any reason why you don't consider Halichoeres chrysotaenia?
Yes, that one is Halichoeres chrysotaenia.This Wrasse as given to me as a Melanurus Wrasse, which I know is wrong, and have always consider that he is a Halichoeres chrysotaenia. Am I correct? TIA.
Sorry for the dirty tank. A friend take down his tank and pile a Blue tang, Yellow tang, this wrasse and a large clown on my 65 gallon and it got badly overloaded.
Need to see the dorsal and anal fins better.What about this one? Only thing I know is that it's a flasher wrasse =) I can get more (better) pictures tomorrow.
Thanks!

I bet it is a P. flavinanalis, or the Yellowfin Flasher. The anal fin seem yellow-ish and the dorsal spike is red-ish. Better picture is needed to be sure.What about this one? Only thing I know is that it's a flasher wrasse =) I can get more (better) pictures tomorrow.
Thanks!
