I got this new wrasse. It was sold as an evasive wrasse. I googled it and nothing comes up. It looks fairly similar to a
Scarlet Pin Stripe Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus evanidus) http://www.marinelifephotography.com/fishes/wrasses/pseudocheilinus-evanidus.jpg
a Pink-Streaked Wrasse (Pseudocheilinops ataenia)

and a Mystery Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus ocellatus)

It's definitely not a mystery wrasse and while it's closer in looks to the other two types it doesn't quite look like them either. I'm thinking it's from the same family of wrasses though, a Pseudocheilinus :question: wrasse.
Here's some pic.'s of him (they're not the best, but it was the best I can get of him so far) Any ideas as to what type he is?
