Thought I would share a pic of my new carpenter's flasher wrasse. I got him July 24th and he's in QT right now, but he sure is a beautiful fish! he's really starting to color up since I have been feeding him NLS pellets.

Line-Spot Flasher Wrasse -- Paracheilinus Lineopunctatus


***Location: Known to be in Indonesia and the Philippines
***Size: Reaches up to 2.75 inches
***Color: A purple/pink body with some orange color with spots that are in lines on its side. It sometimes has a greenish tint on its back and dorsal fin also its dorsal has multiple filaments. This fish is sometimes confused with the Blue flasher as the do look alike but the Line-spot has a rounded caudal fin and the Blue Flasher has a lunate caudal fin with filaments. This fish turns bright red when flashing and it has splashes of white and blue on its body. The filaments turn yellow and sometimes pink with a blue green streak running down the base of the dorsal fin.
***Females: The same has most other females of the flasher wrasses it is very drap version of the male and alot smaller..looks alot like a female Carpenter's
***Price: This fish is not seen as much and commands a little higher price than a Filamented or Carpenters but still not expensive

I just got two in the mail and both have long dorsal filaments. One is more brown in color but still trending red. Both males, right? Assuming I should re home one instead of putting them together in a 108?
