Here is a really good picture i was finally able to get of this Pseudocoris wrasse i got about a year and a half ago from Jason at GA. He's always been camera shy, and i pissed him off following him around with the camera so some pics are going to be blurry. There was a red/pink colored female that was mated with him that didn't make it past the first week. Dove under the first day and rarely came out. When she was out during feeding time she got spooked and dove under the sand. /cry. Im told im one of the very few with this fish in captivity thats talking about it.

Here is the wrasse, first few pics are with flash, last two are without and are the normal color i see him under my lighting most of the day. Mostly velvet purple with blue dots on his dorsal fin. Don't mind the mojano garden, ive tried my best at removal but its a losing battle.

I can't get a good ID on it at all so if anyones able to i would appreciate it. Beautiful fish, very dominant in the tank and always out. I introduced some female yashimiroshi's (or close as they were an unknown also but close in color pattern and shape/size) into the tank a few months ago and they schooled/haramed, as well as a color change/fin growth after a few weeks on this pseudocoris. This is not a yashimiroshi but it was a sight to see that they schooled/haramed none the less.
