Meet Sasha from Sweden (that's what we call it)

What type of wrasse is it?

Thank you. Lights are out now, but I'll take a picture of her tomorrow.
The fairy wrasse refuses to come out in front of me, so I can't get a picture. She's a real pain in the wrasse. Is it normal for them to hide this much during QT? I only see her when she sticks her head out for a quick bite when I feed, other than that she hides as soon as we make eye contact.

I wouldn't say it's normal, but it does happen sometimes. Some species are more spooky than others.

What do we think? H. Claudia? Was listed as an Indo Christmas Wrasse. I looked at all the markings and I think I got it right.

Yes, that's claudia!

Awesome! I actually went to the store to pick up C. jordani, C. rhomboidalis and C. isosceles that I had ordered and couldn't believe they actually had a small H. claudia. So now all 4 are in a holding tank waiting for quarantine. I had to quickly find some sand to put in a small tupperware container for the claudia while I work out a custom built TTM sand container.

claudia seems like a unicorn at this point for every person that tries to find one and ends up with ornatissimus :D

That is why I knew I had to jump on this one even though I wasn't quite ready for it yet. I didn't know when I'd see another. The only other one I had seen was a very large one almost a year back.

A neighbor is trying to rehome this wrasse but they have no idea what it is other than it may possibly being of African origin?
