Scarlet Pin Stripe Wrasse(Pseudocheilinus evanidus). A lot of the time they will be labeled as mystery wrasse from the importer.
That species in particular or any wrasse the importer is unsure of? I mean, are they looking for the "Mystery Tang" check box sometimes too? :p

I don't really think their unsure of the name it seems to just have the same name on their list but once you see the price you know its not a real mystery wrasse.

Yeah I really liked the lil guy had a personality swam right to the glass when you got close wasnt skidish always wanted a small wrasse but the price tag just threw me off and my original google search of mystery wrasse I just knew it wasn’t what they thought it was might go back tonight see if they will drop price on a Scarlett pin wrasse
