very cool. I'm a big fan of Lineatus. my terminal male is the king of all my wrasses. :)

Thanks, my mystery wrasse has been my favorite for a long time, but i think he just got bumped to 2nd... lol...

Does your Male change from a Bright Orange to Blue hue? I notice in the AM before the lights turns on he is super orange and then I get home from work he is a deep blue.

Great looking fish, Just another one to add to the list once the bigger system is set up and running. I'm starting to think that I need like a 500gal system for everything I want. When I first started out in SW, I was always told by the local guys that you couldn't keep that many wrasse together in the same tank, but after finding this site and doing some research, I see it is possible. Sooo yeah, I'll have several before I'm all said and done.

Ok, so as most of you have seen, I can finally join the club. Went downstairs to check them out and the Rhomboid and Flame are hanging together in the back corner, while the Lineatus is out more than he was last night. Can't wait to see what the day brings....I might find myself staring at my tank all day.

Nice Wrasses! I have tried many kinds of Wrasses and they all seem to disappear shortly after I have added them. When I just recently did my tank upgrade I found a very large hairy crab, I now know where they were disappearing too... Time to get back into the Wrasse market!

Do it :) I'm happy with my purchase so far, and do plan to get the female flame wrasse next week. Then I plan to boot the foxface, and then get some flashers. :)

Ok, so took some pics today (glass was a bit dirty). All three wrasses are out and about, and looks like the trigger is no longer trying to show off. Enjoy:

Nice pic's! I found it nearly impossible to get pic's of my Wrasses when I had them.

Is that a Cleaner Wrasse in there too? If so how long have you had it? I have heard they are hard to keep alive?

Yep, thats a cleaner. He's been in there for probably 6+ months I'd say. I've never done anything special to keep him alive. He eats like a pig, and all the fish respond to him. Even saw the flame wrasse turned sideways, all his fins spread open, letting the cleaner do his thing. Was pretty cool.
