The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[brwaldbaum]

Are there any wrasse species in which the females are (nearly) as attractive as the males?

Most of the Anampses are. And Pseudocheilinus, Pseudocheilinops, and Wetmorella are not sexual dichromatic.

Many of the Anampses and Macropharyngodon species and some Halichoeres species readily come to mind.

I got infected with Wrasse Fever pretty bad. My fix is not as expensive as Hunter. This is an example of my fix.

Very nice McCosker's and a great picture! I know how hard that shot is to get.

How destructive would a Red Coris Wrasse be? I know they are known to flip rocks, but if they are glued down they should be fine right?. I don't really have a CUC so i'm not worried about that

Hi there! I have had my Red Coris for a few years now....he was only a inch when I got him...now he changing to his adult colors...yea he will eat a clean up crew as he gets bigger...I don't keep any shrimp or snails...I have about 15 serpent stars....they are mostly nocternal....so he hasn't bothered them. Everyone is correct...he will flip over any and all corals, even big ones looking for food, including my large deresa clam. I had to glue all of my corals to large heavy rock. He is a great fish other than that....not agressive to any of my fish....!

I've had them in the past. Comparable to other leopards. Can be shaky the first few weeks, but then can be quite hardy. IME, it is the most peaceful leopard.

I do have one, but don't have much else to add. Mine pays no mind to any of the others.

I'm on my 4th try [emoji22]. First one jumped while changing water. Seconds went in without acclimation with other fish never showed itself again. Now I have two in quarantine and hoping they both get along in my 210. I might ended up selling one.

I was also worried about my China Wrasse being a bully but looks like everyone has settled in now!
