Don't you love the way it moves, so fluid! Our LFS had a wrasse that was unidentifiable and would not sell it. So very beautiful also.
They know fish, were all educated in those fields and when unusual varieties come in they can't identify, then indeed it may be a variation of a known fish, just not named as yet. But same species fish do very from place to place. I hope you have very good luck with it.

Mystery Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus ocellatus) I got it here in Houston about 8 months ago. You can also purchase them online.

Mary, here are some other names they go by according to online info:
"Pseudocheilinus ocellatus Known by several common names, take your pick: the Mystery Wrasse, the Tail Spot Wrasse, and/or the Five Bar Wrasse. West central Pacific. To four inches in length."
That is a beautiful fish. Thank you for sharing your pic with us. TR

Texas Ranchers, Thank you very much! Five bar I have seen before but am remembering it didn't have the definitive marks, lines on face. There can be differences from areas these fish come from. Or it was not the Mystery wrasse. Pseudo. sometimes means aggressive? Only through chiclids do I know the freshwater term, and I had for several years a very enlightening chiclid tank, all pseudotropheuses , all aggressive. Beautiful fish also. Will look that up. Would love another wrasse but the six line {unable to catch) would create havoc! Will check out the Baensch marine book at LFS., for more pics of the Mystery wrasse.

Thanks for the unbelievable photos of your wrasses. Lucky you. Also you must have a very well maintained tank to keep those so healthy looking . Wow, am impressed. . The fish trap that is sold will never catch a six line wrasse. Not the type of fish to lured by food. Will just enjoy yours. Is that a Rainfords gobie?
