I have a few more gems downstairs that should be moved up into the display shortly. Want to give them a little more time to adjust. Also one of them is stuck in an overflow right now.

^ We keep both species together without issue. The Kuiteri, however, is the dominant leopard even though he was introduced much later.

Thanks

I saw one on Divers Den and almost jumped on it but I have a Solon in qt and a regal angel on the way. My 120 is at capacity. I'm reserving one more spot for a Vanuata Exquisite if I can ever find one. I really need to jump up to a 300 gallon sooner rather than later. :)

Now that would open up a lot of options for adding more great looking ones for sure ... And the C exquisitus would be a super find ... Here is a link you may or may not have seen : The diversity and forms of Cirrhilabrus exquisitus

Awesome fish choices Naka, your wrasses are beautiful

 

[buddythelion]

Very nice! Love the baby Joc. :)

How is the Naoko doing with the other wrasses? I hear that they can be very aggressive fish.

It clearly doesn't care for the flame. :D

 

[Naka]

Naoko is very outgoing. Gets along with all the fish. He's less than 2" but thinks he's the biggest.

That article is what started it all. ;-) I saw a nice variant this weekend. I was tempted but it wasn't a Vanuatu and I ended up showing a rare display of restraint.

Good fo you, restraint is what is indeed needed in some circumstances ... Eventually you come across the "real" one ...then you will be ready and you will not need the restraint!
