Maori Wrasse from Philippines??

3 posts
  1. Tail fin differs from typical "definitive" Two-Spot Wrasse tail, though Popp's Images has one photo with this more fan-like tail.  I cannot find any other wrasse as close.  Can anyone help?

  2. I think this is the Initial Phase, or the female. 

  3. Hi,
    thats a female!
    The male have the spines on the top, middle und down section of the tailfin.
    The backfin is different as well...
    You can find more pics under the old name Cheilinus bimaculatus.

    Regards,
    Wolfgang
