Bodianus
sanguineus
(Jordan & Evermann, 1903)
|
| Common Name: Neon Wrasse Distribution: Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands |
| Remarks: This species is only known on the basis of a few collected specimens. The one in the photograph was the first one ever taken alive. Exploration of deeper coral reefs has revealed that it is not uncommon at depths greater than 300 feet. |
