Wrasses
Are there any wrasses referred to as '12-line' wrasses? If so do you have
any photos or tips on identifying them?
<Lots of lined wrasses of the genus Pseudocheilinus... here's our coverage of
the genus: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/pseudocheilinus.htm
but not twelve... maybe try "lined wrasse" on fishbase.org (I did).

Pseudocheilinus ocellatus Wrasse 7/10/03
Bob,
<Anthony Calfo in his stead>
You have a photo of Pseudocheilinus ocellatus on your website. I have had
several specimens of what I thought was P. ocellatus but they are slightly
different. Photo attached. Is it the same fish?
<it appears to be the same. Indeed... most fish have at least some
variation in the species. Some have dramatic differences... yours is
subtle at best and there really are no congeners that look remotely like
P. ocellatus>
