But a good guess .... I think that's exactly what it is!
Sweet! From what I read it is not reef safe, eats meaty foods and your inverts. The site I looked at recommended min 100 gal. Found in Costa Rica.

Not reef safe at all! I had one a while back ...... Murder on the shrimps and crabs. Banished to the FOWLR. I now keep a dusky in my reef. Not 'friendly' to the CUC but not quite so bloody minded.
It a beautiful fish when it matures from the pics I have seen. To bad, if it was reef safe I would be out shopping!

Went back to the fish store this morning and someone else bought it! But thanks to everyone, I decided not to buy it anyway because it's just a matter of time for that fish to lose its beautiful colors..

As with many of the halocheries wrasses, the males end up as quite the peacock. My dusky is spectacular ..... Though it's also a good 7 inches so not for a small tank.
