Lol you may be right…..for now….at least for me, as Aaron has refused to add any more wrasse :squinting-face-with-tongue:

I never said that, although my tanks are nearing their final stock I have room for one extra special wrasse and I will now be told when another comes in stock :)

Lubbocks Fairy
Blue eyes Anthias
Blue-green mandarin

Yea yea your Choati that keeps escaping you…..we’ll see lol

It’s already on!

Thank you. Also good to know the variant. Lol. I’ve been in the hobby a long time but a real noob to wrasses.

Next time I upgrade, I’ll be ditching most of the other non-wrasse fish (that I don’t have already) and going for more wrasses ;)

This is the one I have:

The Indonesian variant is really a good variant and it appears yours is still a transitioning male :)
They gain a full body of sapphire scales that when in display go bright blue and their tails go deep red.
This is my Indonesian variant, the purple can be deeper and more blue as seen in yours but it can also be a more lilac as seen in mine. I have both variants however I don’t recommend it.

IMO wouldn‘t recommend the C. lunatus or A. lineatus here. Not for the first wrasse try outs.

C. lunatus is rather easy, as for A. lineatus I agree, not for the beginner however when you see the other fish he has some of them have similar reasons for being difficult as both Anampses and Macropharyngodon.
Obviously all of those wrasses need their own bits of research however they were just all different levels of beginner to difficult (I disagree with the expert label, I have cared for some of those fish but I don’t have knowledge of a proper expert) as well as being different levels of expensive, some are more expensive than others however no Johnsoni or Earlei was on there for obvious reasons… who has 1K to drop on fish that isn’t an addict like us?

Just got a text from my LFS... the red head was DOA :loudly-crying-face:

C. Lunatus is easy and beautiful!

Fingers crossed you find another!
Wish I could ship to you, my LFS seems to get these guys in quite often…

Tell her to transition already! Those blues and oranges are needed and looked forward to!

TSA or WWC(orlando) hasn’t had one in months despite their claim of having them

Aaron you are two thumbs up-ing my post of not being able to see a Choati anymore? :face-with-monocle::squinting-face-with-tongue::rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
