C. Claire Wrasse info please

[DracoKat]

my lfs has 2 C. Claire wrasse coming tomorrow from Maldives. I don’t see too much info on these guys. Can someone give me a run down?

Reef safe? Min tank size? Get along with other fish and wrasses?

Average price for them?

Please and thank you!

Expensive taste!

They are peaceful, beautiful and very expensive. I can't remember the last time I saw one offered. Requirements are similar to most other fairy wrasses.

Congratulations, you gotta post some pictures if you get one! Very jealous! (does your LFS ship?)

my LFS says its $39. Research says they're extremely expensive. if these are the right ones, I know what i'll be snagging.

think two will be OK? They're getting two. Or should I just get one? They said they'll hold it for me till Monday

Let’s snap a picture first and show it here.

 

[DracoKat]

ok, I will report back on Monday. Maybe tomorrow if I have time to go

Idk. If it’s $39 Claire wrasse, it will sell like hot cakes. Hate to hear that one of the workers makes the mistake of selling a fish that’s on hold.

If it's a Claire that's the most terrible mistake ever. Can't believe the collector or importer would make that mistake!

I don't think two would be a good idea. Ship the other one to me, I'll give you 10x what he's selling for.

Ha! I will see if they are the real deal first. I am suspicious. Do they really go for 1k each or more online? I can’t find any for sale online


I’m going today and hopefully catch them unboxing so I can take them home before they acclimate and such. Less stress I think

Claire are not from anywhere near Maldives. They are also one of the more expensive fairy wrasses, due to the depths they are collected. It is highly unlikely to be claire.

Lol more like 3999 if it were a real C.claire
