Wrasse ID please

[mike030987]

So I don't have much experience with any type of wrasse. I'm sure this shouldn't be hard to id I just don't know myself. I picked it up with the tank i recently purchased. TIA

Melanarus or also known as Hoevans (sp?). Great Wrasse! Good for pest control. Some say they may eat shrimp and snails if introduced after, I've never had that problem with mine.
