Lion Wrasse?

[mylady]

There was a really cool looking fish at the LFS when I went to get my one spot blenny. I asked the girl what kind he was and she told me a lion wrasse. I've tried to google it to learn more about them, but can't find a single thing under "lion wrasse". Has anyone heard of them? Had fins that were kind of irregular in shape on the back, a reddish brown and white in color. Now I need to know!!!!

just kidding ,obviously she has no clue.
seems you will have to go through some online stores and look for pics to match

Leopard wrasse?

I went on the hunt and think perhaps it was a dragon wrasse. kind of reminds me of a lion fish which might be why she said lion accidentally?

There are huge differences between the adolescent and adults colorwise.

I was thinking that it might have been a dragon wrasse, but thought maybe it was a Leopard and she just said Lion on accident. Dragon wrasses area really neat fish. They change quite a bit from juveniles to adults.
