Green Kelp Wrasse? Any info? Picture inside:

My LFS has several "Green Kelp Wrasses" in stock. They do not know the scientific name or how big they get or what they eat. Has anyone heard of these or have one? Couldn't find anything on Google.

Thanks

Thanks!

Looks like they are shrimp eaters, so no good for me.

There was one on DD yesterday that sold quickly. Cool looking little guy.

They will eat shrimp and flip corals.

yes they are semi-aggresive and will be a bit boisterous in a reef tank .they really are stunning fish though .i wish i still had one but they never seem to be on the list here .
