The latest batch of Maldives fish have arrived! Unfortunately, some have not turned up, but what has are real crackers.

Some lovely Thalassoma wrasse and a few others..

Yep, very pretty. Not sure which wrasse it is, I didn't recognise it as one on the list so it's either a substitute or juvenile colors.

One of the butterflies, the Chaetodon xanthocephalus (Yellow headed butterfly) and potentially the angel.

The blue wrasse is a lovely, well destructive (eventually) hard to keep and incredibly gorgeous chiseltooth :P

Will have to wait and see on the wrasse to give it a true id ,like in this pic(See Link) the juvenile Chiseltooth has the white band where the specimen we have doesn't .Also the chiseltooth doesn't show red markings in the fins but the one we had in does .Myself at the moment I'm not sure what she is as it was a sub .

This is a link to a juvenile chiseltooth
