nice.. i had one that was in thriving condition..beautiful... the only day i didnt have a top on during a tank transfer found on floor next morning.. i really should have known as this fish randomly will splash the top daily.. . stupid.
it appears they sent me a Halichoeres leucoxanthus (listed on LA as a Yellow & Purple Wrasse). i don't see any white coloration on the bottom half, he it totally bright yellow with 3 black dots.
i'm gonna post a video later to see if that's what you still say. 
ok, here's the yellow wrasse, Halichoeres chrysus (a/k/a coris wrasse) from LA

No need for the video, as it is most definitely a Halichoeres chrysus. Though you can still post if you want since videos are still fun to watchi'm gonna post a video later to see if that's what you still say.
I'm going to have to start writing thank you speeches pretty soon at this rate.
what the hay am i missing?? the body shapes are similar but the dorsal fins are not. my guy has the 3 black dots on his dorsal fin and one on his tail fin. and his tum tum is NOT white. he is the identical vivid yellow color head to tail and top to bottom.
you guys are just messin' with me, aren't you? john, need i remind you where you will be sleeping in a few short weeks and i can still sic my dogs on you?!

Yes. And also for my own enjoyment.
I have much larger tanks at home for when the school year ends.
well, that would make much more sense and it does look the same but this guy is 6 FEET LONG!!! how do you s'plain THAT??
I thought only men exaggerate the length of things online...

Wrasse Nut
That's it, right there. That's really the only difference between the two species; white belly, no white belly.
Juvi's of both species have the same eye-spots on the dorsal.
