The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[i cant think]

Need my fellow wrasse lovers help/opinions, is this a true male and female exquisitus or is this female a Pacific male? I’ll get some better photos in the morning of them - currently they’re at the shop settling down.

Or are they even both exquisitus? Obviously the male is, but could the female be something else?

Here she is! Seems to be a mature female, definitely an Exquisitus.

Heard of them, but they are so scarce in the hobby that this may be the first time they’ve entered it on a larger scale.

I’d treat them on a similar scale to H. iridis in being sensitive to shipping and likely finicky to feed.

My Pink Streak female - these two have become highly camera shy since having a 3 foot tank filled with macro to hide from the camera. But they still follow me around when I’m next to the system.
