I finally got some lens covers so I can take a decent picture. My new RedSea xl200 journey begins (actually 4 1/2 months).

Is that a Lubbock's fairy wrasse in one of the pics?
If so, how is it in the 200xl? I'm waiting delivery of the same tank and have been going back and forward whether to have one or a flasher wrasse.

It's a red head solon fairy or tri-color wrasse. He's fine, I have a yellow corris as well.

Ahh. Ok. I thought I saw a Lubbock's.
Anyhow, may I ask how the wrasse you have are settling into the tank?
Any issues with size or aggression?
I'm a fan and will definitely add one at some stage. I just need to pick one eventually!

None what so ever. The tri-color is very timid, he's maybe 2.5 inches. The corris wrasse is very small. The Flame angel is the real pest, but the others dont seem to be bothered, its more like hes annoying. McCoskers flasher wrasse are good candidates for this size tank.

Thanks for that.
Flashers do seem very popular and are beautiful fish but I do prefer a couple of the smaller fairy wrasses.
I'll do a bit more research on them.

You know what, you are correct. It is a Lubbocks fairy wrasse. The guy at the LFS said it was a tri-color wrasse, sounded good to me.

I thought it was but being a newbie, I really didn't want to contradict you.
Its the fish I would like as my "showpiece" in the tank.
