My red tail, yellow fin and linespot flasher wrasse are in the acclimation box after completing QT. The red tail is a little stresse and doing his play dead thing but his color is still impressive.

Had a juvenile lennardi wrasse for about 1 1/2 yrs and was doing perfectly fine but noticed the last couple of days he was not out. Wondering if I lost him or he is in the sand and did not come out. Never had a fish that stay in the sand and do t come out. Any opinions pls

My big boy today showing out because I cleaned the glass. (Halichoeres melanurus)

Very nice, does your melanurus wrasse dig itself into sand bed, I want one so bad but my new build is going to be bb.

After 12 hours no one was paying any attention to the new guys (including the resident P. attenuatus) so I released them. At feeding time the Redtail seems to be the new dominate flasher.

The Cirrhilabrus Wrasses are my favorite, and of course, the more expensive the more I want them! Where have you found the best selection of healthiest stock to be with the best prices?

This little one came from half way around the world. With a couple of important stops along the way to make it to my home.

Question on fairy compatibility:

I have a long-established red velvet fairy wrasse, about 4 - 4.5" long, as well as a smaller (~3.5") exquisite fairy in a 260 FOWLR. They have no issues with each other. My LFS has a gorgeous Australian Scott's fairy wrasse that is really tempting me. It is a big boy - about 5 or 5.5" - as large a fairy as I've seen - and eating well. I have a social acclimation box I can use for a day or two to facilitate the introduction, but is this just a bad idea regardless, or if done properly are they likely to make peace, or at least reach a detente?

LFS also has a good-sized McCoskers I was considering. I've never kept a flasher wrasse before, but will they mix okay with fairies? Will they flash in the presence of fairies, or do you need a harem of flashers for that to happen?
