That’s a male Macropharyngodon meleagris.what is the #1 wrasse called?
Viviennae is a close second to Choati in my listBest wrasse. Any reef safe wrasse but leopards are definitely clear winner in my book
Potters, viviens close second then choats. That said choats are very unique personalities. Viviens have a great personality bit timid. Choats are more wild to me.Viviennae is a close second to Choati in my list
what is the #1 wrasse called?
Yes it is but it is the nuptial coloration of the terminal male Meleagris Leopard wrasse. You won’t see him like that all the time. Only if you able to keep a harem and keep them well enough to induce courting and spawn behavior.That’s a male Macropharyngodon meleagris.
What is the 8th wrasse on the list? It looks amazing!What are you looking for? There isn’t a best in everything. Re you looking for a flashy wrasse? Are there other wrasses in the tank? Only 1 wrasse will result in dull Flasher and Fairy. If this is the case look at other genus. If you keep 2 or more the there are a million choices.
Here are a few I have. Not a complete list by far. It is all depends on what you are looking for and what are available for you, how patient you are and how good are you in getting the best out of your fish.

Out of curiosity how does having multiple wrasses improve the coloration of fairy and flasher wrasse? I will be adding 4 wrasses soon (one each of halichoris, flasher, fairy, and leopard wrasse) so will not be an issue but am curious.What are you looking for? There isn’t a best in everything.

In order from top to bottom;What is the 8th wrasse on the list? It looks amazing!
For wrasses to keep their main colours strong they have to have a reason to be keeping dominant and on edge.Out of curiosity how does having multiple wrasses improve the coloration of fairy and flasher wrasse?

And this is why I think I'm going with the rubeus and brunneus instead of the rubeus and M negrosensis! Want to see some flashing!For wrasses to keep their main colours strong they have to have a reason to be keeping dominant and on edge.
Displaying causes the colours to truly show however this is only done through three means;
- Breeding/Courting of a female
- Territory and defending it
- Food
Here’s my diamond tail beginning to go into display, he now does this almost every night and even throughout the day. The reason he does it now is to protect territory and also the boss of the fairies/flashers and him love to display with eachother.
Halichoeres are rarely susceptible to dulling without anyone else and they keep their colours generally unless under stress. It’s the same with Leopards.
Fairies and Flashers are most susceptible to the dulling phase as they keep their colours through display and courting. It’s why in LFSs you’ll often see a dull wrasse yet when in a home aquarium, the same wrasse will have 100s of colours all over it.
Why not… all three?And this is why I think I'm going with the rubeus and brunneus instead of the rubeus and M negrosensis! Want to see some flashing!
I have the funds for two, and I have to remind myself it's only a 3' tank!Why not… all three?
