Lineatus wrasse Regional differences?

[4FordFamily]

I just bought an Australian large male, what is the difference between this and one from the "coral sea" as live aquaria calls it?

Any difference in the males or anything worth noting?

I hope mine doesn't have swim bladder issues!

No difference in the males.

Thanks. I actually canceled the order and went with POTO. Deals too good to turn down and a great vendor

No geographic variants that I know of.

I see some that are clearly red dominant and others that are more pink and purple dominant. I see entire shipments of one or the other which led me to think regional variants exist. I could be wrong. Most come in purplish but hot reef has a whole shipment of reddish dominant (it seems per photos).

POTO?

Pieces of the Ocean. Great Customer Service, and quality livestock in my experience.

It has more to do with degree of maturity, photography conditions, and individual differences.
