Bodianus pulcher (Ayres, 1854).
California Sheephead. To 91.4 cm (36 in) TL (Miller and Lea 1972). Monterey Bay, central California to Cabo San Lucas, southern Baja California (Miller and Lea 1972), including Gulf of California (Gomon in Fischer et al. 1995). Depth: intertidal to 150 m (492 ft) (min.: Mitchell 1953; max.: Aburto-Oropeza et al. 2011). We follow Baliga and Law (2016) and Santini et al.
