Need help to ID this fish

[DaY]

It's look like a eight line wrasse but i'm not sure. Can anyone ID it? thanks

[DeepBlue]

nope, not a eight line wrasse. A Pseudocheilinus Evanidus

[Chris]

Is it also called a Possum Wrasses?

[DeepBlue]

saw the pic in my dr burguss guide, not sure of its common name....over there, they call it disappearing wrasse....derrr...........what kind of name is that

[DeepBlue]

Pseudocheilinus evanidus Jordan & Evermann 1903, the Pin-Striped or Striated Wrasse (2). I like this fish’s other common names, the Disappearing or Vanishing Wrasse for its bashfulness. To a grand size of three inches. Indo-Pacific, including Red Sea and Hawai'i. This one in the Red Sea.

  reef-safe?? 

Quoted from Live Aquaria

"The Banded Possum Wrasse is a very peaceful, active fish that will bring both color and activity to a fish-only or reef aquarium of 30 gallons or larger. They will not bother any corals or invertebrates making them a perfect fish for the reef aquarium. A single male can be kept with a group of females that is introduced prior to or at the same time as the male. These wrasses like to jump, so a tight fitting canopy is recommended.

Meals should consist of a variety of feeder shrimp, flaked foods, and marine meats."

Thus should be reef safe.
