kruiter's wrasse variants

[reefjunkie42]

Hello guys and wrasse freaks I am in search of some info. I am looking at pictures showing kruiter leopard wrasse's from different geographical ranges. As far as I know you can get them from Australia, the red sea, and melanasia. Im particulary interested in the Melanasia and red sea variants.

Curious, are your pictures showing them to look different from other locations?

I'm sure that there are some variations. I should have three Aussies coming in in two weeks time (just reserved yesterday), but they should look just like BradleyJ's.

I might be wrong, but I have never heard of the kuiteri from the Red Sea, I think you mean Coral Sea?

Im pretty sure they look alike, except for when they start to change from juvenile, female and male.

I know they are from the coral sea, but i dont think they are from the red sea.

Isn't Melanesia and the Coral Sea essentially the same, or at least overlapping, geographical region along the northern and eastern coasts of Australia? I would venture to guess that there would be very little difference between kuiters labeled as Aussie, Coral Sea, or Melanesian.
