Mike Mays Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 My son saw this wrasse at the LFS and can't find any info (other than this pic) online. Any help would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Mendez WTR Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Could that be a gulf coast wrasse? My cousin has a Gulf ID guide, the specking looks kinda like those bass/perch but the face and eyes scream wrasse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Looks like a hybrid. Based on the facial markings I would say it is same family as the radiant wrasse. I would say it is reef safe but would eat some ornamental shrimp like sexy shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'd say go for it. They tend to be voracious flatworm eaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Here you go, the scientific name of your fish is Halichoeres nebulosus: http://www.thatpetplace.com/Halichoeres-nebulosus-wrasse-217818 Basically like everyone says ... reef safe, with the caveat of probably eating small shrimp.

Derek Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Look at that. Can I get a thumbs up on calling that reef compatibility!? Bam! I like the name of it. "Nebulous Wrasse". It sounds like it is a puff of smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
