I have never failed in a fish ID test me if you want

[William Chiavetta]

I have never wrongly IDd a fish. if you want to test me send in any picture of any fish ever

I'll kick things off. Here's a pic of my H. Chrysus. What is its name (hints below picture)?

Hint: After successful QT for a few weeks, I introduced it to display tank and it disappeared into the sand in less than a minute. I did not see the fish again for seven days. I was *incredibly* relieved to see him, only to have him go into the sand and not be seen again for six days. I was super-incredibly relieved to see hm only to have him go AWOL for another eight days. He was given a fitting name after seemingly rising from the dead (multiple times). Can you (or anyone) ID him?

In all seriousness it is a Canary wrasse. I love those little guys. I call them the saltwater electric cichlid

Let’s go for difficult

First photo is when he first went in with his female (a month or so ago) and second is this week

Dang this is a hard one. I know it's some sort of flasher wrasse. I would guess carpenters. If you wanted me to ID it though, yup is is also a fish.

Ok, here is a tough one

That must be the elusive Firtle (fish turtle), which is a rare species

Red-Tail Flasher?

Yes! It's a Canary Wrasse. But that wasn't too difficult because I said as much in my post. The answer I was looking for was Lazarus. But I think we have to accept Canary Wrasse. I wonder how the crowd would have reacted to Yellow Coris Wrasse?

I want to say this is cod! I work in a seafood department.

Definitely close! Correct complex but different species
I can tell you the differences within this complex of wrasse if you want - I own at least 2 species from it (Carpenteri and Rubricaudalis) and maybe my female rubri is a mccoskeri

Red-Tail Flasher?

Yep! Paracheilinus rubricaudalis

Nope... but good guess!

Think 'inshore'...

I'll go with walleye! I'm really just responding to say that I hope the dog in your avatar is named Pippit.

 

[AydenLincoln]

My other guesses are haddock or monkfish. I’m leaning towards monkfish.

Nope... not walleye. Florida inshore.

That's Lucy in the picture, but as you can imagine I always appreciate obscure Jaws references!!

OP... sorry for the thread hijack...lol
