Hi guys! So I've been off work for about 4 days. I go into the shop today for a couple hours in the evening and find this guy in the fish system. No idea where it came from or what it is. Nobody is admitting to taking it in either! Any help on what it is, care requirements ect? It's abouut 4 1/2 inches long and pretty beafy otherwise.

Pseudocheilinus octotaenia, eightline wrasse. Care and demeanor is comparable to a mystery wrasse. Semi aggressive, safe with corals, will eventually eat inverts.
 
Gah Your kidding! I was thinking 8 line, but I never thought they got that BIG! Boy oh boy. Well, thanks guys! Now, I know what to list him as.

Yup I saw a giant one at a local reef they get "grouper face" I call it when they get bigger!
