The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[OrchidMiss]

Everyone seems to want to show off for the camera today.
I'm ok with it. Love my beasties.

Also… another juvie update, she’s probably my favourite wrasse in the tank currently as she is adorable.

This picture confused me for a moment when I looked at it.
New wrasse species? What would you call it?

 

[SaltyT]

I'll join the halichoeres fun! Here's my top 5

5. Cosmetus

4. Iridis

3. Leucurus

2. Melasmapomus

1. Rubricephalus

Will the dorsal fin heal? or is this his new 'do?
Also, he still needs a name. He's in the musician's tank...

Last wrasse spam of the day.
Jaws (Hardwicke) is hard to get a good photo of. His colors are still very subdued.
He loves stealing all the feeders I pop in the tank for my Eelektra and ripping their heads off

Beautiful photos in this thread.

But never a wrasse POTM. Not saying those tang photos were bad but us on this thread could do way better if given the chance.

I’d love a wrasse POTM, don’t know why they haven’t done one due to how popular wrasses are.

So many beautiful options

So many amazing, colorful fish. Pair of pinkies would win though--they're just heart melting adorable.

Have a wrassetastic Tuesday everyone!

Honestly, having two pairs of wrasses and one being the pinkies it’s hard to say what’s cuter… a juvenile iridis with my male or the two pinkies staring at me at night.

I don't know. Does that mean I need 4 new wrasses?

I believe it does.
Also means I need a 6' tank.

 

[JoJosReef]

I definitely need a 6ft tank. I have visions of fairies and flashers and leopards and pigs swimming all over the place.
