Halichoeres raisneri is a species of fish of the family Labridae, the wrasses.[2][3][4][5] It was first formally named in 2001. The specific name raisneri is in honor of William R. Raisner Jr., "a veteran pilot who lost his life in a tragic ultralight plane accident on 26 June 1998 during the expedition on which the new species was collected".[2]
