What fish is this?

[tunicate]

Hi Everyone,

Got this fellow couple of days ago from AM. Can anyone help to identify this fish? It's slightly more than 1 inch in length. Occasionally picks on my LR but not disturbing the corals.

It seems to prefer swimming near the water surface.

Attached photos.

Much appreciated

Doesn't look Reef-Safe to me.

Looks like sabretooth blenny.

Thanks Ah-lim for the link.

Yes it does look like the Striped Poison Fang Blenny, but the tail looks different leh. . .

Wonder if it was cross bred with something like the False Cleaner?

I remember AM took in some Fang blenny before.

Saw them there.

All the best.

I think its a Wedge-tailed wrasse(Labropsis Xanthonota).

If this is what you got, it should not be reef safe. According to the short description in my book, as a juvenile it is a cleaner and as an adult it feeds on coral polyps.

Thanks Kalib. It looks exactly like this fellow in my tank.

Appreciate all who provided info & chipped in to help.
