Dam, I know this one .....

Vrolik's Wrasse
:Halichoeres chrysotaenia, while appearing similar to Halichoeres melanurus, can be differentiated by its spotted caudal fin, whereas H. melanuras has lines on its caudal fin that form a single black spot when compressed: |

OK, looks like I'm out to lunch then
Both the above apply too ... argh I have much to learn Sorry if I steered you wrong. I was focused on the melanurus theme Last edited by gregzz4; 03-26-2015 at 06:17 AM. |

No problem. Thanks for the help. It does sort of look like an ornate leopard but I haven't a clue.

I've seen so many different pic of ornate leopards that I can't tell what's real and what's not
From what I can tell, ornates have a lot of red when they're young ... |
