The Black & White (or Yellowstripe) Wrasse (http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/msub28wrasse/p/problkwhwrasse.htm) (Coris flavovittata) is uncommon on reefs. Males are rare around the main Hawaiian Islands. Juveniles are black with several white and pink stripes. Females are pink with black and white stripes dorsally. The males are dirty blue with high first dorsal spines and dark blue & black spots on operculum (gill cover). This fish is endemic to Hawaii. While juvenile Black & White Wrasses (http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/msub28wrasse/p/problkwhwrasse.htm) do not fare well in aquariums, due to difficulty in getting them to eat tank fed foods, the sub adults and adults do quite well. They will attain a length of about 20", so plan ahead with a larger tank size.
