Hey guys.. my local petco surprisingly gets better and more variety of fish then local fish stores.. and they have a good frag tank too.. and i went tonight and saw a wrasse in their tank as they just got in new butterflies.. angels and tangs for their 25% off sale this weekend.

I was stupid and didnt take a picture. They couldnt find a tag for it. So i didnt buy it plus it was 9:05 and they closed at 9. I plan to go back in the am and buy it if they can give me the 25% off on thursday which im sure they will.. as they gsve me 25% off 3 fish on monday

Anyway.. the wrasse was mainly red.. but has spots all over it. That were blackish with greenish rings around each spot.... The only tags they had up were leopard wrasse. And 3 of other names but those didnt even look remotly close...


Csn as a leopard wrasse be red with spots... vs black with spots ?

I cant find any picture on google searches either... sorry i know this isnt much to go off... but again it was red.. with black spots all over its body and had greenish teal around the spots..i believe
 
Many wrasses (well lots of other species as well) exhibit different colors as juveniles than adults.

Maybe a red-lined wrasse (Halichoeres biocellatus)?
 
Leopard wrasse buries in the sand when first introduce into a tank. Likely that the sign are for the Leopard wrasses that you did not see. Glad that your got the fish ID. My Petco is pretty good also. I got a lot of nice animal from them for rather inexpensive price, especially when I got them during one of the sale. There is a 30% off sale the Easter weekend.
