A team of marine biologists exploring the remote islands off Mexico’s Pacific Coast made an exciting discovery: a new species of fish previously unknown to science. The new species Tailspot Wrasse is also known as Halichoeres Sanchezi in honor of marine scientist Carlos Armando Sanchez, who discovered the first specimen. The Tailspot Wrasse has vibrant colors, a distinctive tail spot and inhabits shallow coral reef environments. "It's very exciting and it's really nice to finally see this, this coming out and being able to tell people about it because you kind of need to keep these things a little under wraps," said Ben Frable of UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, who was one of the scientists on the expedition.
