Good to know the new shop near me isn't entirely wrong...

They had this fatto fisho marked as a blue cleaner goby.

Indigo dottyback

See, now even I had him pegged as a Blue Gudgeon, but yeah, it absolutely is a dottyback.

Your turn

Do you know what it is?
Does it have an ocellus at the end of its dorsal and anal fins?

Yes (well genus 100% species like 90%)

Nope

BTW I do love being on the other side!

Looks like a labropsis spp. in the photos.

Dang it! That was supposed to be too hard to get! I believe it is Labropsis australis

That's my guess too. The top photo looked like it had an ocellus in the anal fin on the reflection so it threw me off a bit since they don't have ocelli.

 

[Slocke]

From my very quick research they only eat SPS so unfortunately it did not come home with me

Halichoeres chlorocephalus.... the holy grail of halichoeres.

I knew you’d get it.

I wish they were available and not just rubricephalus!

Beautiful female mel

 

[i cant think]

That is this bad boy when I first got him
By far the nicest ‘aggressive’ Halichoeres out there.

 

[i cant think]

Another difficult one…
