Possum wrasse here on his lunch break reminding everyone that it’s tiny wrasse Tuesday.

The Blue Star is waiting for a friend to join her as a grow out ;)
She hates photos and loves to zoom around the tank but she doesn’t generally seem stressed when the camera isn’t out so I’m not overly worried yet.

Dang, she’s pretty and looks like she knows it!

And that photo is dulled, if it was brighter she’d be even nicer!
I’m hoping the Vivienne’s come in as baby juveniles as who doesn’t want a wrasse that looks like this close up?!
(Not my photo).

And my second option for a leopard looks like this when juvie which is cute but the Vivienne’s juvenile is even cuter.

UGGH dont make me want one... I think its still my favorite leopard. Though I'd have to see a cyanoguttatus in person to be sure.

Those Vivienne’s are so beautiful. I hope you can post plenty of pictures in the future. I haven’t kept one before, but I’m about 3 cute pictures away from having to find one!

Come on, Cyanoguttatus is just a fancy negrosensis this species is its own special thing!
It doesn’t portray the average leopard wrasse spots that all other species have some form of ;)

Even if I don’t pick one up I’m sure I can get 3 pictures ;)

I transferred my big trachy and button scoly to the office tank last week, and they've been looking super sad. Today, I noticed the sexy shrimp bothering both of them and had to water blast it away.

What do you think? Halichoeres melanurus? Maybe I can just tape up a photo of a flame hawkfish with the title "you've been warned"?

Grab any Halichoeres, they should all deal with them ;)
My personal favourites are;
H. iridis
H. leucoxanthus
H. vroliki
H. marginatus

Lure it into a cup or small bottle with some food and catch it! Or give it a nem to live on and pester haha. I had a small army of them a decade ago, and they definitely became little jerks if they got hungry and would harass corals.

The two sexies have 5 RFAs! I think the female just went rogue though. Theu donthat sometimes and get a taste for Stylo polyps and, apparently, meaty corals :confounded-face:

The M. bipartitis arrives tomorrow, but I don't think she will be the kind of threat needed to keep the rogue sexy in line.

Ah, yeah, that’s no good. Maybe she just went rogue and decided she likes the “dark side.” Maybe she will chill out if you deliver her some food/pellets to her front door.

It is kind of funny, they are cute little things but their small size doesn’t stop them from causing some real problems!
