Melanurus Wrasse coloration?

[PupChow]

Does the Melanurus Wrasse come in juv. and adult coloration? I received one below and it is nothing like what was showing on the website:

Still looks pretty, but just wondering if they are the same fish... here is a picture of coloration shown on site:

Here's mine. I believe there is a juvi coloration. There is also subtle differences between male and female.

My Melanurus Wrasse looks like your pupchow but it small not just over an inch, I was told that this was the juvi colors as well.

jpslickorocks what kind of trigger is that in the background & how big?

Wow, that's a great looking wrasse! May I ask how big it is?

Yes When I first first got melanrus they were Juvi and looked exactly like yours. I know have 1 left and it looks exactly like your adult pic.

RacerW.... i believe that is some kind of Xanthichthys... blue throat trigger. i could be mistaken though.

as for the wrasse.... it kind of looks like a Halichoeres cosmetus. but idk, maybe there is a juvi coloration.
