Wrasse ID help
 
Hi everyone
I recently got what I thought was a 6 line wrasse from the LFS, however after closer inspection, I don't think it is. Its much bigger than a 6 line should be I think (3 - 4" long) with 8 blue and 8 yellow stripes. He also has blue and gold eyes without lines, as opposed to red lined eyes. Finally, he has 3 of the leopard type spots on his dorsals, instead of the 1 normally pictured for a 6 line.

Anyone have any ideas?

Try googling Halichoeres melanurus.
