Pseudojuloides kaleidos, the Kaleidos wrasse[2] or blue-nose wrasse,[3] is a species of saltwater fish. It is an uncommon fish with a distribution in the Indian Ocean including off the Maldives east to Indonesia.[2][3]
It lives on reef slopes and flats at depths of 20–35 m (66–115 ft).[3] The Kaleidos wrasse reaches 10 cm (3.9 in) in length.[3] Both sexes begin a brownish pink color with a pale yellow tip on the snout, with males maturing to bright colors within about a week.[3]
