sorry for such a crude artist rendering! lol

it looked very similar to this pic. the top fins on the fish had a red tint too it. whats certain is its all black, has a blue stripe, and a definate yellow band on its tail.

it was labeled as a blue lined wrasse i think, but i cant seem to find it lookin online.

i really loved the way this fish looked, never seen it before! want to go back before it gets sold tomorrow if possible, after doing ressearch.

Amazing painting of the mystery fish! Something Da Vinci would be truly jealous of. I'm only teasing you.
I looked for a good 20 minutes straight and could not find any that really resembled that but a red coris wrasse(adult). But even that doesn't really look like it. Looks like an interesting fish.

pseudodax moluccanus, or Chiseltooth wrasse

Sweet!! thanks edwing for trying! kamalehi, spot on. was able to find it.

NOT much info on this species, but read they do get big, but are slow growers. gonna give this fish a shot

Cool looking fish. Is this what it looks like? The other pic is a bit small.

Yep, it is a Chisel tooth sub-adult. Tough test though..
