    Im just curious, as to my leopard wrasse, what kind it is. It was never stated at the lfs. And this is the best shot I have of him/her.

    But the colors markings and stuff get mixed up with different wrasses, I think Im going insane! +K for your help

    wrasses have been known to mate outside their "own" species or genus. so in a way they become "mutts". i know its more common with the flashers , but coulda happened to yours if you get no positive id. thats the best i can come up with. :)

    So If I wanted to add some blue star wrasses to make a small group? They would coexist decently? persay in theory?
