Timinicki wrasse-whats the scientific name

Reefnjunkie · Apr 21, 2012

My LFS has a pair of what a pair of what they call 'Timinicki' wrasse' I find a few hits on line but nothing specific.

Anybody know the true name?

I liked the pair but they had a nice Halichoeres rubricephalus (red headed wrasse) as well that I was looking -my tank is 72x48x27 but I have at least a dozen wrasse already, so I want to check on compatibility etc

Any help is appreciated
TIA

thanks!

There is a huge variance in online pics- makes me lean more towards the red head. There are not a lot of 'brilliant' pics. The ones they have look nice and I am not real sure if fish 'morph' like corals

Hmmmmmmmm

Thanks again!

Thanks again Terry or Mike-LOL

Looks like if I'm getting a new fish it'll be the halichoeres rubricephalus. From wha little I have read so far they are less commonly found in comparison.
