This is an interesting name choice for the Rainbow Basslet...
Apologies if this isn't the right place for this but I couldn't pass on bringing this up somewhere. What a funny name.

Thank you, I edited the species.

When we made the English version (some 15 years ago) we heavily relied on fishbase, because we are all germans. Turns out some names have slipped through the net (ehhh, fish pun!)

FishBase uses that name for whatever reason. Makes no sense to me.

It's a typo for Wrasse Bass (i.e. it is a basslet which resembles a wrasse).
