I saw this fish on a different forum and was wondering if someone knew what type it was before I went on an adventure on LiveAquaria. I have posted the link to the picture so hopefully it works. It is the red spotted fish.

Thank you!!!

It looks similar to a geometric hawkfish to me.

It's actually a female Choati Leopard Wrasse. I have the male. It's a super pretty fish. Love them.

Really pretty and enticing.... unfortunately those fish have a terrible track record.  Really not worth the risk.
