The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

Very interesting. I'm not sure if it’s just because he's new to the tank but he rarely ever puts his fins up.
I had that with mine - if there’s other wrasses in the tank, they can be a bit shier to start with, but once they settle in after a couple of weeks they start flaring their fins usually.
 
Well, the 5 foot has almost all my wrasses back in now;

So far the wrasses are;
• Cirrhilabrus lineatus
• Cirrhilabrus katherinae
• Cirrhilabrus exquisitus (x2)
• Halichoeres iridis
• Halichoeres leucoxanthus
• Pseudojuloides splendens

Plus the Foxface as the only Non-wrasse fish so far
 
Safe to say the wrasses are back to their normal self again… Photobombing coral photos
😆

My first ever wrasse - Carpenter's flasher wrasse.
Ordered 1, received 2 on 7/24/2026.

Haven't been able to really get a good picture.
I think this is the slightly smaller of the two:

Can kinda see both here but not well:

I assume I'll have to re-home one at some point but so far there hasn't been any aggression so just keeping an eye on them for now.
