Wrasse

I was told he is a sling jaw wrasse but I haven't found a close picture to him yet.

Well nobody has piped up yet, so I'll chime in
Unless juvies start with a smaller jaw, besides the coloring, that's not a slingjaw wrasse
And you should be happy about it too :smile:
It would eat all your inverts, small fishies, etc

Have a look at some vids online, including this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgXQyMI4AdU), this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDU4CQWXaNY) and this one (http://www.earthrangers.com/video/feeding/slingjaw-wrasse-video_c9757256f.html)

You have a beautiful fish there and I hope it stays the same colors :smile:

If it does turn out to be a correct name, better get a FOWLR going sometime in the near future :mrgreen:

I got him from golds. So far he only eats pellets.
If the jaw does start growing bigger I well transfer him over to my fish only tank.
For now he has great colors and is very peaceful.

You'd think the jaw would be developed from birth so if you don't see it now you're probably safe :wink:
