So i have a Cirrhilabrus Adornatus that is missing one of its pectoral fins. Seems fine in every other way other than a slight odd way of swimming to compensate. He is turning into a supermale currently so im not really worried about his health. So much as how it will affect his social hierarchy. Tank mates are as follows:
Full grown Clarkii Female
Powder Brown Tang
Yellowtailed Blue Damsel
Blackbar Chromis

Im wanting to add more fairy wrasse but i dont want to put the Adornatus at risk of fighting due to its handicap. It can take any aggression from its tank mates so far and comea out the winner everytime. But wrasse squabbles can be nasty...

Adornatus can hold their own with most fairies. Avoiding the nasty species, such as pylei or scotts and something not in it's own complex should be fine.

Thanks @eatbreakfast . Was thinking a solorensis or something of the more playful nature definitely not going pylei or anything light pink in color. My options are fairly limited where i live though so might have to special order
