Alan, I can't have one of these. So you have to have one for me.

So what are we looking at there? Seems like I have seen that pic before, just can't place it. Those teeth look mean!

That's a terminal male yellowhead wrasse. Very easy going with other fish, will eat inverts though. Absolutely something else in person. Great personality and about 8".

Nice looking fish. Funny that I was just looking at wrases about the same time you posted what it was. I want a wrasse for the reef, but it looks like most all are jumpers, and there is no way I can think of to seal off the reef. My new FOWLR tank has glass lids, so wrasse jumpers are not a problem. I will have to see if I can find a yellowhead.

BTW when you guys were here you could have gone out collecting with him.

SIGHHHH... rub it in

One of my favorite past times here in AR is catching "critters" fish, snakes, turtles, crawdads(crayfish) and what not, I have had who knows how many "creek tanks", probably one of the first aquariums I ever had was a stream tank. I would have loved to have went out collecting. Next time I will know and be better prepared, hehe..

I saw lots of life around the bay where we were, upside down jellies and too many sponges and relateds to count. When we went to the gulf a few years ago I saw my first sargassum fish in the wild, it's always cool to see these animals in there own habitat.
