Could you ID this wrasse. I think it is C. Temminckii and would like your opinion. Can you please identify male/female and area of origin???? Thanks.

Looks like an Exqusite Wrasse to me.

I think Exquisite wrasse has shorter pelvic fins. This one has longer pelvic fins like Pylei, Rhomboid, and Lineatus.

Thanks for the info. Do you have a picture of yours? I need to make sure he does not jump in my tank. My tank is covered by even that I lost one before while feeding. Do you know what is the origin of my species?

Unfortunately there is very little pictures of Temminckii on the web That I can find. And none of them are quite similar with mine (may be due to the origin of the species). Can anybody confirm the species and origin??? Thanks.
