Hey guys,

I got this fish over a year ago and it has been great. It’s peaceful and a very active swimmer and it likes to explore and go in and out any hole it can find in the rock work or sand. Initially I thought it was some sort of dotty-back or maybe even a wrasse, but I haven’t been able to find anything similar to it online.

It’s the long one black and white with a thin red line. It’s about 2.5-3 inches long.

Thanks!

Hmmm... I'm not positive... but I do think its a yellow stripe coris wrasse. Very cool fish! On the downside I believe they tend to get pretty big.
 
Thanks y’all! I looked up the names you gave me and in fact, it is a Cortez Rainbow Wrasse (Thalassoma Lucasanum)

Right now it’s a juvenile but it’ll change colors when it turns into a male.
Here’s a picture from liveaquaria:
