Electrokate Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 man... that is a hard one to ID. Just for fun and procrastination I tried to find it in books and online... found similar but shorter bodied Bodianus/hogfish species, Coris atlantica, and Hologymnosus doliatus and H rhodonotus. Those last 2 being most likely. Here are links: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=hologymnosus+rhodonotus&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=986&bih=540&tbm=isch&tbnid=rNiBCLt7vuwpRM:&imgrefurl=http://www.kazkian.com/z/manboon2nd/cat451/cat464/&docid=qUvSz_QI_NhyVM&w=500&h=332&ei=RFZmTtnFCurmiAKqzMXPCg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=622&vpy=227&dur=1202&hovh=183&hovw=276&tx=159&ty=124&page=4&tbnh=115&tbnw=153&start=43&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:43 http://www.google.com/imgres?q=Hologymnosus&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=986&bih=540&tbm=isch&tbnid=Sh4ljSnyqALvYM:&imgrefurl=http://www.complete-encyclopedie.nl/Dieren/Vissen/Hologymnosus%2BDoliatus/&docid=lEOFOzp82CryLM&w=640&h=480&ei=GVVmTqH0CqTSiAKQzMSoCg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=330&vpy=227&dur=77&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=159&ty=149&page=6&tbnh=113&tbnw=153&start=73&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:11,s:73 http://plaza.rakuten.co.jp/homurasp/diary/200902210000/ http://www.b-boxaquarium.com/html/page134.html It is also possible it's worth some money, if it is something rarely seen in the hobby. Check this out: http://dev.bluezooaquatics.com/productdetailcc.asp?did=11&cid=331&pid=3027 I'd say this fish deserves a bump (: It is hard to ID wrasses since different locations have slightly wider or narrower stripes, and as they age their spots and stripes change. But I think it's that one off blue zoo. Good luck, it looks like a nice fish. Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsz3 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Little piggy is going to pnkrklives if i can ever get him out.

nelsz3 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 MAN 1 FISH 0 After 2 days fishing i finnaly got him out YA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 The fish is settling in nice. A little bit of chasing between the melanurus and him. But no real aggression I can see. No joke he is a pig. Always on the hunt just saw him devour a bristle worm as long as him. Hope the clown is settling in nice for you. I got the power head on the Nem for you just waiting on some movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberlee Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Okay I was a little slow on this 1, but did anyone ever ID that fish. I use to have 1 and he was mine and my husbands favorite fish. I'd be grateful if some 1 could ID him so that I might replace the 1 I lost.

pnkrcklives Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I believe electrokate is correct. He looks just like a Red Cigar Wrasse Hologymnosus rhodonotus. Except for the fact he has no red more orange/yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsz3 Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Glad to hear he's doing ok for you. I think pig might not be the right word. more like eating machine... kind of miss him wriggling back and forth when i walk up to my tank now but not seeeing all the new empty shells from the hermits is kinda nice too. the clown was swimming with my smaller one when i got upthis morning so i think he will like it the tank... maybe a little more when he has a nem to snuggle up to. thanks again for time spent talkin reef!

nelsz3 Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 He's a mirror image of the red cigar (Thanks Kate!) but more yellow. taylor i forgot to tell you he likes to jump in a overflow box but you"ll know when he"s not there waiting for food in the morning and likes to eat off your finger.
