Does anyone know which fish this is? Under the water before collecting it seemed to be a halk fish, but now in my tank I can see it is not.

The fish does not behave like wrasse at all. It should be something else.

Hmm.. Looks like a species of hogfish?

Closely resembles Bodianus diana, but too much yellow!

I'll keep looking Smile

Thanks for the answer. It hasn't nibbled any coral yet. I'll keep an eye on it.

Cheers
