Nope, they didnt' even know what it was and it was the only one. They had it labeled as a "Picture Wrasse". This store never gets any nice wrasses, just sixline, cleaners, etc... I'm sure if they knew what it was or how it really looked like under normal conditions they wouldn't have sold it for $25.00 Its was amazing to see how fast the colors changed. In the stores tank it was completely pale, once in the bag the colors started to pop right out.
