The Mystery Wrasse or Pseudocheilinus ocellatus is one of the most sought after saltwater fish for an aquarium. Also known as the Whitebarred Wrasse, Tail Spot Wrasse and the Fivebarred Wrasse this fish is extremely colorful with blue, yellow and purple around its head. It has vertical stripes on its reddish purple body and a spot on its tail that is designed to fool predators. These stripes can fade, or even disappear as this fish grows older. Like a lot of Wrasse fish, they tend to change colors over their lifetime. Young Mystery Wrasse can be green, but will soon turn to the more familiar reddish purple body. They can grow to about 4.7 inches (12 cm).
