The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

Funny that two people just bought that fish as something else and posted about it at the same time.

Can anyone I'd this wrasse for me? It was sold to me as an ornate wrasse.

Here are a couple more

Yes, that one is H. biocellatus.

Can anyone ID this wrasse?
Petco pick up. Labeled as as bluehead fairy but I know it’s not that. Sorry for the horrible quality picture

C. lubbocki, Cebu variant.

Sidenote for these ID requests: we have this thread for wrasse ID's, for which you'll typically get lightning fast responses: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/let-me-id-your-wrasse.97755/

Tell me about your Anampses meleagrides. How long have you had it? Does it cause any problems?

If your referring to my yellowtail tamarin, it's easily one of my favorite fish in the tank. I've been searching for them for a while. Those and the red tails. It's very peaceful in my tank but not a pushover. Doesnt mess with anyone, but doesnt get pushed around easily either. Didn't eat for about 2 weeks, only picked at the rocks. Then I introduced baby brine shrimp I hatched and it started eating them from the water column. Then it finally transitioned to frozen mysis and brine.

Thanks for the ID @evolved. Didn’t mean to take the thread off topic. I saw a few other id requests so I figured I’d post. Can’t find much on the Cebu variant. It’s a gorgeous fish tho. Can’t believe I got it for $30!

 

[mattzang]

love my biocellatus! she's very hard to take a decent picture of, though. my phone doesn't like to focus on her and she moves quite quickly, not the photobombing machine the anthias is

 

[mattzang]

and chrysus for good measure, my phone likes her a lot more

Does your yellow wrasse’s eyes reflect a different color at different angles? I see mine reflecting red or green off of it’s eyes depending on the angle.
Quite beautiful. Just curious if this is normal or not.

I think most of the lubbocki, for how cheap they are, are among the most beautiful fairy wrasses.

Uh, lineatus is back in QT again. Was good for a few days, but then got the upper hand on the pintail and it went downhill from there. Guess it's time to rehome it... :(

What size display? Working right now on a big fish only build and am very intrigued about parrots. In 14 years never had one as only ran reefs. Beautiful fish! Would love to see a full tank shot. System and substrate looks nice and clean! Have a build thread?

Don't have a build thread yet but maybe I will take a video....I have a 265 gallon display and a 300 gallon Rubbermaid stock sump.... Also a 60 gallon tank plumbed into system as well.... Use chemi pure elite and I have a bio pellet reactor... In sump lots of marine pure product... Not rock or anything....
