Let Me ID Your Wrasse!

[evolved]

Halichoeres ornatissimus
The larger it gets, the more aggressive it becomes. (and it gets to 7")

Nice.
P. hemitaeniatus.
I had the first one from this wave collection wave that made it alive to the states about 6 months ago now. Unfortunately one of the other fish in the box the vendor sent me had velvet too, and I didn't have that specimen for long.

You know full-well what it is...

That's a bummer evolved!
You are the wrasse messiah, such a shame that you got a diseased specimen that didn't make it...

Fingers crossed for you to have another opportunity to land this beauty as a healthy specimen!

It's not frequently available. It will come in sporadically from Kenyan shipments.

Nice find Joe...AV? It's not seen in our area that frequently so it can be mistakenly IDed as a blue dot Tamarin. Very simular in care and disposition when small, but the Tamarin will get much larger( wild to 16") and most of the CUC is on the menu. My Blue dot is about 4 years old and 6-7" and growing....LOL
