I agree! I also have a linespot flasher in the acclimation box. Excited to have him out and about.I think P. angulatus and P. flavianalis are under appreciated....I have both along with another I think is underappreciated, P. lineopunctatus.
I find it shocking your Rhombodalis was the tank boss. What other wrasses do you have?
I know, right? He was atypical for sure...
I bought the rhomboid, flame, and a lineatus all as females. The rhomboid and lineatus both turned male before they hit the display. They would squabble and chase each other quite a bit, and then one day the lineatus was gone... and the rhomboid was the king fish. He would flash all day and chase the flame, and any other fish he felt offended by lol
I also have a few leopards and a yellow Halichoeres. I sold the rhomboid so that I could try another lineatus...since that was the one I’d really wanted. And a pintail. They are both in QT at the moment Maybe someday I’ll try another rhomboid and maybe get one less ornery lol
Individual variation can make you scratch your head sometimes. The only Rhomboid I've had was afraid of his own shadow and was even bossed around by my flasher wrasses. I now have a 4.5" laboutei, a 3+" flame and a bunch of other wrasse and the king of the tank is the newest wrasse, an Exquisite that's barely 2". SMH. My tang may be in trouble when he grows up. LOL

Do you have any pictures of your laboutei? I had a BEAUTIFUL one...several tanks ago...that I picked up mislabeled as a 6-line wrasse, for like $40 I think? When I shared him on another forum, I was told all kinds of horror stories about how awful and mean he will be... but mine was a model citizen. I lost him during my QT “learning curve”, to a velvet outbreak. I’ll have to see if I can dig up a picture.
Edit: well, not any good pictures that do him justice... but you get the idea lol
A McCosker's and Halichoeres Melanuras will probably get along fine.Anyone know if two male wrasses would get along? In particular McCosher male wrasse and Wardley wrasse
How did you treat him for flukes? There has been an upswing in Prazi resistant flukes lately. You could do a freshwater dip to confirm.
