Let Me ID Your Wrasse!

[Winschuc]

Thanks.

 

[Rybren]

This guy came in as a P. lineopunctatus. Yes/No?
Thanks

 

[Maritimer]

I'd say yes, though I'm no expert. Well filamented and with a squared off tail says lineopunctatus to me.

Lately, I've seen a lot of royal (angulatus) and yellowfin flashers being sold as "Filamented" for some reason . . .

Man I want to say lineopunctatus but something is telling me no so I'm going to go with angulatus for the win lol a very nice one.

 

[Brad Syphus]

My angulatus from today.

 

[Brad Syphus]

My Lineopunctatus I have 2 of them.

 

[Rybren]

Hmm, it doesn't look anything like Brad's angulatus and doesn't have the green highlights of his lineopunctatus.

Mine looks similar to the stock pictures of lineopunctatus except for the clear portion at the end of the tail.

Whatever it is, it is a nice fish just the same...

 

[Greenstreet.1]

It looks like it's mixed

What wrasse is this? Sorry for the bad pics, but getting a photo of it at all is hard. It's hard to tell in pics, but it has a yellowish head.

Looks like a red margin fairy

Pink margin c Rubmarginatus

Thank you! Do you think young male or female? I looked at some pics and it seems females done have the red on tail fin? I am likely wrong haha

Best guess would be the 2nd or initial phase. Beautiful fish with a great attitude.

Male, initial phase C. rubrimarginatus.

any idea what this is? it was under "assorted wrasse" at my local fish store.

 

[MOPAR]

I may be wrong, but it looks like a grouper of some sort. Maybe a cherry or skunk grouper?

Certainly not a wrasse.

Agree completely with this i.d. V. louti.
