    It would help if you can, to post a pic of it in the tank.

    Edit: picture no longer needed. Your fish has an ID.

    It is a Red Back Ring Wrasse. (Scientific name:Hologymnosus rhodonotus) Found in the Pacific waters, in depths of b/w 20 & 100ft.

    -will consume most any fish or mobile invert it can capture and swallow. The Ringed Wrasses need a good sandbed not only as a place to sleep, but for defense as well.
    -be aware that they grow to about 12 inches and they are not friendly to smaller tankmates as adults. They are best suited to large fish only tanks with tankmates that will be too large to eat.

    Looks like it's either a sunset or peppermint/candy wrasse. Looks like it is in a juvenile stage.

    Sounds like a good plan racer. That'll be a cool fish to have, if your tank is big enough.
