What kind is it?? Looks like a potters?

Bret I tried a meleagris/ but did not make it. IMHO because of my other bully's.

This one I got for 25 bucks and could not pass on it. Looks like a Potter's to me/perhaps a divided.

I've tried for years w/o success-they live but not long term.
Perhaps I need to get some flatworms in my tank LOL.

Ive had good luck with mine! I had a black leopard for over 6 months till it jumped and got an infection...then when I upgraded last Sept, I got an ornate leopard wrasse and it has been doing GREAT! Eats everything I put in the tank including spectrum! Sadly I havent seen them available since. I tried a divided leopard twice but never had luck with them...

to me it looks most like a potters....here is the best link for info about them...
