Saw this guy at a public aquarium the other week. He really caught my eye and was a very impressive fish.

Anyone keep them or have an ID??

Reminds me of a hogfish....which i believe is a type of wrasse...they do get LARGE!! lol...or nepoleon wrasse...both large fish!!

 

[redtailfool]

Great looking salty ! Sorry i have no idea what that fish is.

 

[Steve_89]

Yep its SW.

It was HUGE!

 

[Peanut_Power]

probably is a nepolean or moari wrasse...they do get huge!! upwards of 6' i think...lol....and gorgeous!

 

[DeLgAdO]

yea i think its a napolean, but if it is, its just a baby.

Cheilinus undulatus, for sure... also known as the Maori, humphead or Napoleon wrasse... and they do grow to 6'. Very neat fish, and great pic.
