The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[i cant think]

I like his colors a lot, only frustrating thing is not being able to capture them in photos!

I have that with my wrasses (and the two that I can never get in photos are my Xenojulis and Flavidorsalis).

Hey guys I'm curious about red corris wrasse and if they will be ok in a tank with maxima clams? My local shop just got some in and I was interested but dont know a whole lot about them.

When small yes but when they get bigger they like to toss stuff around. They are also quite big and potentially aggressive and not really a reef safe fish.

Looks like your wrasse transition quicker like mine. Don’t tell them the secret but it’s looking good
Dusky picture?

Fat and out of focus. Willie wiggled his way in, too.

Is Willie the blenny? :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Darn dusky's are hard to photograph aren;t they?

I'm going to have to get him in the morning sunlight! I'll try to remember in the morning, as long as the clouds allow it. His colors are phenomenal in the daylight.

 

[JoJosReef]

Haha, husky dusky. Love it!

I only recommend a few places to get fish. I don’t use many but every now and then. Few transitions with reef exclusive when he started up and he went above and beyond. TSM is local and can see behind the curtains and would always recommend.

Eric cohen from tank stop is one I always get from if he has what I want. Few months back he shipped me an earls that arrived looking like it didn’t ship well. Fish suffered a few days after and I kept tank stop in the loop. Just got a txt from Eric he got more earls and is shipping for tomorrow.
He does good for the hobby and will help on forums and even recommend people buying from lfs before online. He is an online business. He is one who cares and those I like to support. And recommend. His prices aren’t bad.

+1 on Eric. His Flux Rx has been a lifesaver and we had a great discussion about the plan to tackle my Valonia. If he had QT'd fish I'd go straight over. I think his are healthy but I try to minimize risk as much as possible since I have an office tank and want to avoid major interventions like setting up hospital tanks. If I ever set up my own QT, I'll pick up a fish from him every time I pass by, haha.

He qt’ed my male Vivien and the trio of choats. Passed a friend to him and he ordered 12 high end fish that was qt’ed by him but he won’t now.

I do agree he gets good fish. It does matter who you are and what you get to a point.
I learned a lot from him over the years

Some more photos from when I turned my lights whiter.

Have we ranked the flashers yet?

 

[JoJosReef]

Oh boy... I just impulse bought a pair of QT'd pinkies for $120... And I already have the rubeus and the brunneus going into QT. Pinkies should be going in a few days before the fairies. Yikes!

I’m now trying to find a second to repair with my male as his female died during the tank crash, they’re gorgeous when they are paired as you’ll always see one closely following the other.
