Is that tank in your LFS?
That's the nicest fish store tank I've seen! |

Looks like some sort of Thalassoma type wrasse. Maybe a lunar wrasse? Look here:

That is a Belted Wrasse, Stethojulis balteata. Very difficult to keep. Here's a picture of mine:

not to hijack this thread, but i have an unidentified wrasse too. I can put a pic if needed but it wont be good.
He digs in the sand to sleep. Looks like a white lunar wrasse. Has a black spot on either side of the tail, all white body, pink lines on his face like a lunar. Anyone? |
