Attenuatus Flasher Wrasse progression

I didn't realize how much color changes it has gone through since I see him everyday. when he was younger, he had more yellow and red on him. now that he's bigger, he's got a lot of black on him. pics aren't the greatest but you get the idea. hope Brad and Sara has better progression pics. :)

Thank you. I think adding a few more flashers really made him step up his game. :hammer:

very nice bro. it looks like yours only took 4-5 months to develop the black areas. and it looks like his filament is missing?

 

[MimicOcto8]

Thanks Marvin,
Yea, I don't know when he lost his filament or if that rotten conde got it. He has almost lost all of the black now and his color is back to what it used to be. I still need to sit down and catch that conde and get him out of there. I'm sure the attenuatus would be out much more if I did.

yikes!!! you have that Conde and I have the Hooded. although with the recent additions of flashers, the Hooded is a little confused on who to chase now. LoL

try purchasing a Blue Flasher or Line Spot flasher to see if the Conde will divert his attention towards these flashers. my Hooded ignores the Yellowfin & McKosker's but goes after the Filamented and Line Spot when he's on his rampage mode. LoL. overall, I'm happy that the Attenuatus is not constantly harassed by the Hooded and at the same time, flashes the other flashers a lot of the times. the Attenuatus is the biggest out of them all. :)
