#328171 Juvenile fish from Bali

I think this is an Oxycheilinus of some sort, maybe O. orientalis, the Oriental Maori Wrasse. I sent a photo similar yours with the green spots to Fishbase a couple of years ago, suggesting it might be a juvenile O. orientalis. They got Dr Randall to look at it. He said he had no records of wrasse like this. I have seen similar ones since so would also be interested to hear from anybody who has any ideas.

 

Just been doing a bit more research and notice a photo on Fishbase of Oxycheilinus unifasciatus - http://www.fishbase....pecies&TotRec=7. This has the green spots which may help.

If it is like the old Substrobe - and it is the same outer casing - pull out the ready-light lens on the rear with a pair of pincers. It is a conical shaped thing that is a tight fit down a hole and sits on an 0-ring. Use compressed air to then blow out the lens - it doesn't need much and I used a car tyre pump.
