No. It’s mainly black. Has some lines along the body

Looks like it could be a juvenile of something -- at least that's my guess. How big is it?
In any case post it on the R2R wrasse ID thread.

AC had something similar to that a few weeks back. I tried to get it to eat for a few weeks but it never did. Forgot the name

Close and probably labropsis xanthonota- tubelip wrasse.

Nice find, but I probably wouldn't want one in my reef tank given the look of JAW

Tulip wrasse
I think it will nip at and annoy your reef
Perhaps in a fish only...
Beautiful fish
