Finspot Wrasse: Xenojulius margaritaceus

[jjersey85]

Impulse bought this wrasse from my lfs. originally thought it was a dragon wrasse, but after a good deal of research i found out it was in fact a Finspot Wrasse. Havent found too much info on them, can anybody give me anymore in depth info.

Very recent import and not well known. Sanjay is the only one I know that has one(via Saltwater Critters) perhaps he can comment on behavior etc.

Its a very easy fish to keep. I have read that it typically comes from sea grass beds. Mine is quite mellow and minds its own business.
