I was bored so I did this…

I want to rename this wrasse: the galaxy wrasse!

This is my Coris gaimard, or that’s the boring scientific name presumably named after some self-important scientist. Its common name in the hobby is the red coris wrasse, though outside of the hobby, it is often called the African or yellowtail coris wrasse. Here is my old juvenile: Here is...

I'm sorry to hear your leaving the hobby. I had to leave 10 years ago when I moved from CA to OH. I wish you the best and remember you can always come back much later. Pretty sure I know where @tbrown and I will be Friday though

Saw this little gal at my LFS today. Manager said they had a male as well and they were selling them as a pair but the male wasn't doing well so they put him in a tank in the back. A little rich for my blood at the moment though.

Said goodbye to my friend this past week. I can't wait to see him living large at ReefCo in future.

Most likely Melanurus but could also be richmondi or leucurus.

I thought she was a melanurus at the store and the guy said no but honestly I still think she might be. Will have to wait until she gets a bit older to truly know!
