My lfs has not idea what it is. It's not a carpenter's, but it is one of the flasher varieties.

looks like Paracheilinus attenuatus to me.

I believe so too. Matches the 2 bold blue stripes on the belly nicely. Good enuf for the "you know what"? I thought the pic was not too good. Couldn't catch him displaying/flashing after about 25 pics. Lemme know.

it works for me..we can always change it out if you get a nicer pic later on down the road.

Will send tonight.

Been in vacation mode for the last 3 weeks or so. Jamaica with the kids late June, and Miami with the wife last week. Guess it's time to get back to my normal routines now.

One of the pretty flashers but they are all pretty IMO

Ray, did you get it online or from the lfs?

The lfs asked me to help ID it. In their shop.

BTW, my lone female carpenter flasher dissappeared after 1 year or so. The other female and male left here some time ago. Now I guess, I'll get 3 more since I hear the male can wear down just one female. Probably go for the same as I had since the price is better. I think the one above is at least $60 up to $100 I'm bettting.
