Need Help Finding name of Blue Fish with Nose

[byrdman81]

Hello,

I was in a fish store a few months ago and seen a beautiful fish.
It is a salt water fish about 5-6 inches long or so. kind of Light blue and has what looks like a cute little button nose.

I called the fish store and now the guy has no clue what fish i'm talking about. He told me is sounds like a long nose blue wrasse but that doesn't sound right to me.

No other wrasse i've ever seen has a little nose.

Please Help if you can.

to me sounds like a bird nose wrase, only fish i can think of besides a longnose hawkfish (its red) that has some pronounced nose.

if u could describe the fish better, body shape, flat or fat, fins placement and size ect... may help.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply. The wrasse is not it for sure, the Unicorn Tang is real close if my memory serves me well.
But still thats not it, the fishs nose is more round at the tip and points upwards.

The funny thing about the fish is how human its features are. When I say nose it looks like it's face has a nose not a horn shape.

It is a round fish not flat.

Sorry for my bad description but my memory of the fish isnt to good.

I'm not sure if this is a unicorn tang or not cause I think it's face is different.
The pic I was able to find looks different anyways. Are there different types of Unicorn tangs or is this a different fish?

Thanks
