Pseudocheilinus ocellatus

Rare Ocean had one a while back, just wish I could remember how much it was

Found this:

A very rare and beautiful wrasse.

The mystery wrasse, also known as the whitebarred wrasse or five-barred wrasse, is a beautifully colored fish from the West Central Pacific. This is a somewhat rare fish to find in the marine aquarium hobby, but its colors, suitability for a small aquarium (30 gallons+) and penchant for nuisance snails and flatworms makes it a real aquarium favorite. While the mystery wrasse may be added to a reef tank, it is likely that small ornamental shrimp will become prey, especially if they are added to a reef tank with an established, adult mystery wrasse. Juvenile mystery wrasses may lack some of the vibrant red coloration typical of adult specimens, but as they mature, their color will change. The mystery wrasse appreciates an established aquarium with sandy substrate and plenty of live rock. As its name may imply, it is a secretive fish, especially in a brightly lit reef tank. Once acclimated, however, this fish will be more visible and should readily accept a captive diet including small chunks of raw table seafood, frozen foods formulated for marine carnivores and both flake and pellet food. The mystery wrasse is a hardy and beautiful wrasse that also provides utility in the saltwater aquarium.

Go for it Alex quick, be very quick before someone else nabs him
