thanks for responding so quickly auroradrvr the one i saw had red eyes is that rare. also i didn't notice if it says anything about agressiveness

No, it's not rare. They actually all have reddish-orange eyes, but it may look washed out in some pictures.

I can't comment on their temperament. However, from what I've heard, its very similar to the Halichoeres genus.
