Wrasse ID
 
So i saw this gorgeous wrasse at a store in Toronto, and have spend the last 2 days trying to find out what it was.

Ive tried numerous of the big retail saltwater fish sites, and few others with no answer.

All i remember him saying was it is Austrailian, white with orange spots....and $200


Any good sites for wrasse id's?

Perhaps a Choat's Wrasse?
