I think your Melanurus wrasse is actually a Richmond's wrasse (Halichoeres richmondi). The difference being, on the Richmond's the stripes are blue and appear like a chainlink (much like yours), where as on the Melanurus the stripes are red/orange and more uniform.

Beautiful wrasse though! I see Melanurus all the time but have never seen the Richmond's wrasse in person! Gorgeous fish! I'd gladly take him off your hands if you happened to be swinging through Calgary anytime soon :biggrin:

Yeah I think you are right. It makes sense size wise too as he is already past the max size of a Melanurus.

Thank You.

Would love to come see your tank and see if any of these will be a good fit for my tank.

Thankfully I looked into this wrasse on my phone before an impulse buy a while back. They do get on the larger side. I think their duck bill looking mouths are hilarious.
