Bodianus paraleucosticticus
Bodianus paraleucosticticus, the five-striped hogfish, is a species of wrasse native to tropical and warm temperate waters of the Indo-West Pacific, particularly Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia and Rarotonga.[2] It has also been recorded at Holmes Reef in the Coral Sea off Queensland.[3] The specific name is a compound of para meaning "near" with leucostictus meaning "white-spotted" referring to the close relationship of this species with Bodianus leucostictus.[4]
