Maybe these show the colours better but the pattern is harder to see in these photos.

This was at my LFS today, it's unusual to see such a large lennardi for sale, full grown sleeper goby and cleaner wrasse for comparison.
It's also pretty unusual to see a lennardi wrasse anyway, so it was awesome to get to see it.

Got some tangs for the first time this weekend. My LFS has been quarantineing them for me.
I thought yall would get a kick outa my rubylongfin wrasse trying to "attack" the tangs thag obviously do not care about little man.
Not clear pictures but you can definitely see the wrasse rage.
Also the landing gear is super rare to see. And only when he is big mad.
Also here is some brunneus wrasse. Super skittish. I love the lyre tail on the brunneus.
The colors are spectacular, really hard to capture. Greens, blues, light orange.

I use 2 different stores but they both definitely uphold!
This one is where I got the female Half Bar Flasher, I also got both Diamond Tails I’ve had from here. Same with the carpenteri.
Then from the other I got the Pencil, Rubricaudalis Pair and Twistii.

They went in and hung out for a few minutes during a quick feeding and swimming with the twistii. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Meleagris this vibrant in person.

Saw this “little” Formosa today. These are such beautiful creatures. Seeing a pretty fish is nice, but these in particular make me kinda bummed thinking how these maybe shouldn’t be in captivity :/
I'm counting at least 4 leopards. Any more I'm missing?

5 total, the ornate was camera shy, here’s the best picture I’ve gotten

Love it. A lapillus would go nicely in that mix!

Suppose I need to get some good pics of my Melagris. IMO they are the best coloration in a leopard, besides the potters, but I don't think we'll see the potters again anytime soon. :(
Totally reminds me of my tank a few years back when I had every leopard known to man with the exception of a choats. The only leopard in the family I've not owned.

Definitely, although a male Black Leopard (especially when courting) is also stunning.
Hopefully Hawaii open up again soon, maybe then we’ll see some more fish on the list for export.
6 line out is the best bet.

Unfortunately sixlines are known for attacking other wrasse. They are the only reef safe wrasse that is not recommended for a mixed wrasse tank unfortunately.
