ID game!!

[yikai]

Mux up the challenge.

Try ID this one, it's not hard.

Hint: This fish is a wrasse of course. It can be found in CF now! Occasionally will appear in LCK also! Cheap and beautiful wrasse but not v reef-safe cos will disturb shrimps.

this one is hard.

but not impossible!

[yikai]

Cheilinus chlorourus

[yikai]

[yikai]

[Digiman]

isit a snooty wrasse aka Cheilinus oxycephalus?

Awesome!

Yes it's Cheilinus Oxycephalus, also known commonly as snooty wrasse. It's a fish we can regularly get at CF, normally at the size of 2 to 3 inches big.

However something to take note of is this fish the body colour can be variable from greenish brown to bright red.

The pic i posted jux now is the most beautiful colour form of bright red, which has been brought in by LCK several times already.

Those at CF ones are not as red and most of the time may look like as dull as this below:

Very easy wrasse to keep, and not too aggressive. If u can find a bright red snooty wrasse, it will be a v nice fish to keep!

Pseudanthias dispar?

[yikai]

[iskay]

Pseudanthias dispar?

Pseudanthias squamipinnis - Lyretail

[veliferium]

Pseudanthias ignitus?

[Digiman]

Pseudanthias dispar?

Haha no la, i will not post a dispar anthias and furthermore how can a dispar anthias costs $35.

This anthias is v similar looking to dispar anthias, but it's rarer and can only be found occasionally in Sri Lanka shipment here.

[yikai]

Pseudanthias squamipinnis - Lyretail

also wrong.

here's another picture.

the difference is in the little red dot on the pectoral fin base when excited and some minor colour differences.

[iskay]

Try this.

[yikai]

Try this.

this is a potter's angel with a blue colour morph.

also known as the blue potter's angel.

[yikai]

here's a tough cookie for all of you!
