Wrasse ID help needed.

[KWRealtor]

Sorry for the fuzzy pic. This wrasse is about 2-1/2" long. The body is black with blue horizontal stripes. The back and dorsal fin are yellow and it has one eye spot at the front of the dorsal fin. I have had it for 1 day. It makes a mucus cocoon at night like my Clown Fairy Wrasse. The LFS did not know what it was either.

I have not seen it eat other than picking at live rock where he might be picking up some capodes. I think this might be a juvenile and I want to make sure I have not purchased a wrasse that might turn into a 12" monster. I also need to know what it eats.

Thanks fo any help,
Sam

It's in the Labropsis genus, and so it eats coral polyps when an adult... It's probably Labropsis xanthonota, so it only gets 5", but it's something you don't want in your reef tank.
