![]() I can't get a decent pic of this little guy, but he hitchhiked in on a pulsing xenia, hiding in its small piece of LR a few months ago and has been poking his nose out, growing, and finding new places to hide ever since. Shaped like a long, thin dottyback, with a rounded tailfin. Orange-red face and fin edges, with the tailfin solid back and edged with orange. Eyes like the sixline wrasses, with the horizontal black bar. Body color a dark purple-blue.
Cannot find an image of anything that looks like this guy and it is bugging me deeply...

![]() Any pic good or bad is better than none.
Not likely to get a real id without. Post what you can and I'm sure someone can help. After a few months... If it was wrasse, it should be swimming the tank.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. ![]() |

![]() yeah, i thought that, too-- but the elongate's colors are just so much more washed out... this one is really brightly-colored... although I did find this shot of one on the web that looks sorta like mine...
