Default Fish ID Help

Please take a look at the link from Fish Base.

They are IDing this fish as a black Leopard Wrasse. I don't buy it I think Fishbase is wrong.

What do you think
Leopard Wrasse

The fins and mouth look right but the color and scales sure don't.
But remember not all species are typical of what they should look like, as I am sure you already know...

FishIndex appears to agree with FishBase....

http://species.fishindex.com/species...n_kuiteri.html

I think the key word is Black Leopard Wrasse, as opposed to just Leopard Wrasse.

Ya, who know's where alot of the names come from. Maybe it has something to do with that unmistakeable black spot behind the gill plate.

Cheers,

(BTW....nice fish).

So It's been about 29 hours. An so far the Black Leopard is still not letting the other smaller Leopard to freely swim the tank. what are the odds they will become a little more friendly
BTW they are in the 370G tank

I don't know if they will ever start to get along - but looking at the last picture you posted and knowing that you have a lot of SPS coral in your tank I am going to predict a divine intervention that will stop the fish from picking on anything or anybody else in the tank.
