The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[i cant think]

Best I can do picture wise. In the bucket upon arrival. Note the tail fins. I’m an idiot for letting it go a week and not thinking about him sending the wrong fish. Was more concerned with the adorned that I wanted so badly. Crazy part is, he doesn’t even sell the lunare on his website

That’s definitely a Thalassoma species, most likely lunare by the sounds of its patterns.

Rehome that guy ASAP, he will become incredibly territorial and definitely won’t love your other wrasses.

Now the fun part of trying to catch this bullet! Feel like such an idiot that I didn’t catch it before I plopped him in the tank.

Wrasse are best caught in a trap. They are too inquisitive for their own good.

Good thing I have a trap just itching to be used haha. Hopefully the fish is to big to get in and turn around fast before the door falls!

Those aren’t even close. Does he drop ship?

Can’t see the video. Is it a twisti or tamarin?

He sent me the videos of those. Very nice!

Not that I’m aware of. I believe everything comes from his shop in Oklahoma. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that it was an honest mistake. He has been super easy to work with. Even when a yellow coris died outside of the 3 day window he have me a refund. Otherwise super happy with the service thus far.

Both!
JK I'd go for a vivien! They don't come around that often. You can get a choati .. well not anytime but often enough.

I don’t believe I’ve seen a Vivienne’s in person in a few years (Atleast 3) but Choati I’ve definitely seen in person somewhat recently (Atleast within the last 2 years).

These guys will become nasty, especially when they’re fully mature.
