Which leopard wrasse

[cougareyes]

What species of leopard wrasse do you think this is; I think it is different as to what the lfs sold it to me as. Either way he is cool and is doing well.

What kind did the lfs tell you.

 

[cougareyes]

Before I reveal what I think it is, and what they told me; I want others to chime in.

Oh, a test eh .......

Better picture would help, but from what I can tell looks like a male bipartitus.

Meleagris or ornatus male leopard wrasse. Definitely a male. Unlikely African or black leopard.

I'm a crappy photographer. I think it's a male bipartitus, they said it was a male meleagris.

M. bipartitus, male.
No doubt.

I can see it now from the second pic. The body is not as dotted.
