    Still no, I'm not lying evolved, why would I do that? If you think I'm lying then just don't play. There is very little info on these guys online, most of it is copy/paste on different sites. The longitudinal lines will help, thats what tipped me off,

    I'm not even going to try. I can't do squat with that angled photo. I'll just go to the liquor store and buy a handle of jack and be happier.

    I'll give you that, but I just don't like the mixed color wrasses such as Pyleis

    You are soooo close! Not quite, but close!
    The whole point of it is to be challenging, I wasn't gonna give you a side shot with a bunch of detail.

    NOTE:
    From now on please post scientific names along side common names if you can get them. This would really help, as I know the scientific name of this wrasse, and the common names can be misleading.
    Keep guessing, closest so far is m2434

    The prefix on the latin name is right
