I collected this guy in the Atlantic. He came up to New York on the Gulf Stream. Or an Uber.

Not sure how rare it is but I picked up this beautiful Gold Nugget Wrasse from my LFS a couple weeks back.

These used to be rare but they’ve been appearing like wild fires recently.

Do Earlei need cooler water? Think they’re a deepwater wrasse. And if I’m not wrong Femininus also comes from cooler water.

They don’t mind sometimes low 70’s but they do well in regular coral temperature parameters.

Some of these aren’t rare rare however most of these are uncommonly kept.

First up;
My pair of Pseudocheilinops ataenia. I did get a trio but the third vanished a few weeks ago. So I now have a pair that stick rather close together. I cant get photos of both together anymore however here’s an old photo when I first got them of the pair.

Next, my Cirrhilabrus lubbocki. This guy is often called the ‘true’ lubbocki as this was the first of the two lubbocki variants that got named. However the common lubbocki you see kept is the Indonesian variant, this guy is my Cebu variant and is uncommon-rare in LFSs due to them not really being known about and often brought as female lubbocki’s :)

Than my Cirrhilabrus naokoae. Again, this isn’t a rare fish by any means but it is another uncommon wrasse to find.

And my Siganus magnificus, this guy is slowly becoming rare over here. Their price is still increasing and fewer seem to be coming into the LFSs.

Now for my true rare fish. This is a Wild Caught, Misbar regal angelfish. I say this is rare as, all the regals I now see that are misbar are the CB regals.
