take a shot i know ppl are looking lets get the ball rolling. the face looks amazing with those neon green stripes, almost like a female hooded but the fins are too badly beat to tell.

i cant even image I got it for 19 bucks!! It also looks like 1 to me too. I have a female already and thats what she looks like, just in way better shape. the only thing that doesnt look correct is the tailfin. It is rounded and not the signature "wave" shape as my hooded's. Please other experienced wrasse keepers please chime in. I think it looks kind of like a red velvet as well, but vie never seen one in person so I cannot compare
