    I think it is a Pylei. What do you think? It was supposed to be a Pink Margin.

    That's tough. Searched around for similar looking wrasses and the closest I found was the Monsoon Wrasse?

    I wish it was a Rhomboidalis Wrasse, I would love to have one. Last year when I tried to get a Pink Margin they sent a Pylei Wrasse by mistake. This one looks quite a bit like that one. I have found a picture of a female Pylei when it is a little scared and I have one of this one that looks the same. It is a mottled white and pink then. So today I will inform them they still need to send the Pink Margin. We will see how the Pylei goes, they can be mean so if he makes it, it will be up to his disposition if he stays.

    Wow Maureen! They needed to make mistakes like that with me when i used to order from them. It's definitely not a Pink Margin!!:whistling:

    I took more photos and sent them into WetWebMedia and had them take a look. It was decided the fish is a Cirrhilabrus Pylei. The company credited my account as a "courtesy" to me. The Pylei is growing and doing well, has already changed some in his markings.
