Moyeri are much harder to tell males from females IME. That could very well be a male or a female. I believe males have a pinkier body timt

I just wanted to say;
‘Supermale’ isn’t actually a phase in the wrasse life, we generally call them ‘Terminal Males’ and generally a supermale is just a terminal male with nicer colours.

Would you consider Mermaid man and Barnacle boy from SpongeBob super-males or terminal-males?

Definitely terminal, their state, is definitely “terminal”

Well, earlier I got a better photo of her! Turns out ‘she’ may actually be a ‘he’. His scales are just stunning and I can’t wait till he gets more iridescent scales as they can glow a crimson red.

It was mine too. I always wanted one and decided to finally pull the trigger!

I've had one for the last 4 years. Super hardy and after a couple years...even outgoing.

Nice! What temp is your tank ?

77.5 is the setpoint. This fish is my oldest fish and has been bomb-proof...

Does your tank fluctuate much higher than that? I worry about temp and this fish. My tank hits 79 every day during the summer.

Nope. Chiller keeps it below 77.5.

Pun intended?

I’ve had this Moorish Idol about 6 months and it’s at least doubled in size.

Im not going to get a chiller but unfortunately my tank will hit 79 during the summer but will only be 76 during the cooler parts of the year. Hopefully the little guy can take the heat!

My nano tank used to fluctuate to 96.8°F (36°C) during heat waves, 76-79°F (24.4-25°C) really isn’t a difference that’s what the average reef tank temperature is. In fact even in winter I tend to allow my tank temperature to fluctuate between those two.
Fahrenheit is the one measurement I will never understand as yes Fahrenheit shows more accurate measurements but Celsius truly shows the same thing just varied.
