Pseudocoris yamashiroi (Schmidt, 1931)
Redspot wrasse, 16cm

This species is rare at Kwajalein, usually living relatively deep on lagoon pinnacles and seaward reefs. The first shot is an old adult male from the seaward reef slope taken by Jay Lord.

These are earlier phases observed by Stan Jazwinski on the seaward reef at a depth of about 8m.

Numerous juveniles recently settled on the seaward reef slope were photographed by Stan Jazwinski.
