Mystery Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus ocellatus)

The Mystery Wrasse earned its name the honest way — it was collected and described well before anyone had a solid read on its range or habits, an unusually poorly understood fish for one this striking. Deep purple fading to yellow across the body, it's still one of the more requested wrasses in the trade despite, or maybe because of, the lingering air of the unknown.
