Solar Wrasse

[revhtree]

I am thinking of adding a solar wrasse to my 120g. What do you guys know about them and would this be a good addition. The new tank is fishless at the moment.

Thanks.

aka Clown Fairy wrasse?

if so, just make sure the tank is covered because they'll find a way to get out... definitely a nice addition... it'll be awesome if you're able to acquire a pair..

I had one for over a year. It was a beautiful one. I lost it when I moved it over to my rimless frag tank earlier this year.

Well my lfs got a pair in for me. $100 for the pair. Not to bad huh. Anyway how can I tell if they are a pair, male or female, or will the change like clowns?

Males are usually "super" colored...

WOW!!! A pair is AWESOME! I wish I had a pair of them. God luck and keep that tank covered!

hmmm interesting, theres a Halichoeres solorensis and a Cirrhilabrus solorensis
if you like wrasses you should deffinately get the bookFairy and Rainbow Wrasses and their Relatives by Rudie Kuiter
i think its one of the best wrasse books out there, with multiple pics of different color variations and colors of different sexes
the demale looks like the male but instead of green its orange
