Senior Reefer yikai Posted December 14, 2010 Author Senior Reefer Share Posted December 14, 2010 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!

Digiman Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Reefer yikai Posted December 14, 2010 Author Senior Reefer Share Posted December 14, 2010 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.
