He was my favourite fish because of that contrast!
The bright anal fin made everyone look at him after they were done admiring the cheap Clownfish (they still ignored my Hybrid Angel).
Here’s a better photo of his fins - Where he got his name ‘Dumbo’ from haha.

So pretty. I love it. How was his temperament?

Well… My wrasses are abnormal to say the least;
None of them should get along yet they do. This guy was no exception, @SaltyT warned me he’d become aggressive but he never did surprisingly, unfortunately he died of old age.

Basically my large wrasse gang currently is;
- Halichoeres chloropterus
- Halichoeres iridis
- Cirrhilabrus lubbocki
- Cirrhilabrus lubbocki
- Cirrhilabrus naokoae
Maybe Macropharyngodon bipartitus will go into the mix in the future if I ever get my hands on a choati.

Yea, I would have expected him to be aggressive too. I guess you got the zen touch. Haha

Just updated to add my current big wrasse gang (I have 2 wrasse gangs, this guy was in my large gang). Definitely have some luck with wrasses and just fish in general, all of my fish are peaceful (for now) and I have some that are meant to wreak hell.

Altogether I have…
- Halichoeres chloropterus
- Halichoeres iridis
- Cirrhilabrus naokoae
- Cirrhilabrus lubbocki
- Cirrhilabrus lubbocki
- Macropharyngodon bipartitus
- Pseudocheilinops ataenia
- Pseudocheilinops ataenia
Yes, I have multiples of some species, only the Ataenia are a pair - the lubbocki’s are two males that somehow get along in my 4’ tank.
Those last 3 are in my SPS/Clam system (3’x16”x1’).

That’s awesome that they all get along. Nice list of fish.
