Baby twinspot. Had about 6 months. So far slow grower and model reef inhabitant. Doesn't bother even clams.
Love those. Don't they get huge though?

Johnsoni and lunatus are the same complex. Johnsoni is the oldest described species, lunatus is the most base.Is mixing C. brunneus with any other fairy wrasse from the Johnsoni complex ill advised? I read some comments before going against brunneus + isosoceles being mixed together. Also, is it the Johnsoni complex or the Lunatus complex? Maybe I'm mixing something up. I follow the Cirrhilabrus chart from Hunter still, which seems to call C. isosceles C. cf lanceolatus (probably created this chart before the Splendid was named isosceles?). Finally, and back to my original question, if they are not to be mixed why is the complex colored in green?
Yes.Is mixing C. brunneus with any other fairy wrasse from the Johnsoni complex ill advised?
They're used interchangeably. But +1 to TJ's comment below:Also, is it the Johnsoni complex or the Lunatus complex?

Precisely.(probably created this chart before the Splendid was named isosceles?)
The chart really wasn't intended to stand independently; it was to compliment the article: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/cirrhilabrus-complexes-inferiority-need-not-apply.17/Finally, and back to my original question, if they are not to be mixed why is the complex colored in green?
H. chrysus is usually pretty well behaved around inverts, though it is capable of eating them, those instances aren't to common.Hey guys!!
I have a flame hawkfish that is eating my snails and I want to get it out of my main tank. I would like to replace it with a yellow canary wrasse. Does this wrasse bother inverts, snails, hermits and I'll be getting some micro-brittle stars. I had a six line wrasse and it never bothered the snails and hermits.
Agree; usually that species leaves inverts alone pretty well. But if he gets hungry... Provided you're feeding at least once a day, you will most likely be fine.H. chrysus is usually pretty well behaved around inverts, though it is capable of eating them, those instances aren't to common.
TJ provided credible advice.Someone tell me about Scott's Fairy Wrasse. I got one from my LFS yesterday and it was a beautiful lavender color, so I got it. Took it home and it's more green/blue/pink. Someone told me they lose colors, I am seeing on other sites that they change colors depending on mood.
What settings causes color change? what factors? tell me more about them!
Oh, what's the min tank size for them? I am reading seriously conflicting info on this one (one site even says 30 gals!!)
