I ordered one yellow coris wrasse from dr reef and he sent a male / female pair! Both healthy and active and still with me today!

I also got a tomini tang from him after my lfs sold me two back to back that died in less than a week. The Dr reef tomini was noticeably better shape and is also with me today
Morning brother!

I don't see this one available too often!
I do like Dragons Breath. The macro I brought back from the Dominican reminds me of Dragons breath. Burgundy under blues with orange tips when it's growing. Under whiter lights, its a deep red.
