    Fishing_freddy,

    I have had to go back & compare photos & after a stripe count I have to concede, I think I got it wrong.
    With a stripe count between 17 & 19 stripes & growing to a length of 550mm, it probably is a ringed wrasse.
    Jewelled wrasse has at least 20 stripes & grows to 350mm.

    Muzz
