that is not a Hooded wrasse for sure. I think it is a"Tongan Flame" as Heuerfan suggests and seems to be the same as the "Nahacky" in picture 2. I'm not sure this is actually a described species yet.

 

[rstimeout]

yes i think it is the second pic from mike pratt any info will help if you know of any thing please lmk and jim

 

[House of Laughter]

RD, take a look at the tail - the tail on the nahaky is like a flag and not a fan - hmm . . . .

I repeat, that is not a hooded wrasse in Richie's , nor your post. The 1st pic from LA is.

The tail look`s like the vanuatu`s in the first pic.
