What is my name..

[Arego]

My son loves watching reef relaxation videos on YouTube when he's going down for a nap. That useless information said, this guy popped on and I'd like some help getting a name. He'd make a great addition to our wrasse 250.

Thx

Moon wrasses are big, boisterous wrasses. They'll kick any tangs butt back to the stone age! lol. TONS of personality, super cool fish. Just watch if you have some of the less "STREET THUG" fish in your tanks.

@DarthSimon is close, it's a Checkerboard Wrasse, Halichoeres hortulanus, sibling species to the Melanurus Wrasse, Halichoerus melanurus. It does get big though at 10+ inches.

Thank you! I've got some thug wrasse and peaceful as well. This guy will be the 15th wrasse in the collection. I appreciate the help everyone.

Many of ours are between 6-7" avg with the exception of the queen coris who is bigger than the tangs, and they're no juveniles. Some how the tank just works, it's 250 dt and it's beautiful watching them all do their own things in there and not have any conflict. The cleaner wrasses though, they get chased sometimes. Imagine walking along and out of nowhere someone runs up and starts biting you and trying to clean your armpit. ..
