That looks like a blue leopard wrasse, but I have only seen one, once. Beautiful either way.

Looks like a stressed black leapord wrasse.

 

[charliethetuna88]

No def not a black leapord I have one

 

[jaa1456]

Well I did say stressed. It has the blue on the lower fin that is found on black leapord s from certain regions

 

[marrone]

It actually looks like a Juv/Female Psych Head Wrasse (Anampses chrysocephalus)

 

[Gabe]

Rephrase that, not blue, blue star ... That is.

 

[charliethetuna88]

Marrone I think ur right loks like a male pschy which the female veraon is the red tail .I picked him up yesterday and he shot right in the sand this morning he was out and I feed him some brine which suprisingly he eat .I have him in a 75 gallon frag tank with a yellow tamrin ;, yellow coris and leapord wrasse they all seam to be getting along oh and my frag tank isnt really a frag tank its more off another reef tank lol

 

[charliethetuna88]

[jaa1456]

That looks like a Juvi African Black leapord.

That looks like a Juvi African Black leapord.

Look again. The big give away is the head, which you can see it starting to change into the Psych Head Wrasse. Not to mention the tail has the banding color of the Anampses, or Red tail Wrasses.

 

[charliethetuna88]

Not sure were its from but its def a black leapord

 

[charliethetuna88]

Yeah I think ur right lokks like its going into the male stage

Pay attention to details, I was commenting on his picture of his black leapord wrasse.

I also don't see any resemblance to a red tail. That fish in the first pic is still a Juvi of some type, the spots on the face have yet to change at all. I'm not 100% sure what it is. It looks stressed and I would like to see a pic of it when it is at its normal coloring.

 

[marrone]

I suggest you do a search on pictures of Psych Head Wrasse, you'll then see this is a Psych Head Wrasse.

 

[charliethetuna88]

Now now guys lol I think marrones right the red tsil is the female version of the psyc wrasse jaa ill try and get a better pic when I get home for the most part he looks like the stressed pic but with more of a deeper blue when not stressed out

 

[Gabe]

It's a gold fish wrasse... Or a rabbit goby...

 

[Gabe]

Or a marsupial tilapia...
