Just an fyi, that's a Cebu variant, cf. pylei.I love most of the wrasses in the cirrhilabrus family. They are quite hardy, most of them are peaceful, they are reef safe, and of course, they are real beauty.
One I found in a LFS in the past months is the pylei wrasse, wich, once well acclimated, shows outstanding beauty and a really cool behavior.
I let you see my Vanuatu variation of the Pylei, I have a pair and they became quickly my favorite wrasses in my tank.

I have one in my tank and it's very well behaved. Love mine.Personally I'm wishing I could keep a Majestic Angel....that'd be an amazing fish...but it's nowhere near reef safe, so there goes that

Personally, I am awaiting my chance to purchase one (or a trio, haven't decided) two-spot anthias, Pseudanthias bimaculatus. Definitely not one everyone has, but oddly enough running about the same price as the Bartlett anthias I've seen in stores.

I don't know if it's been said but my Pink Streaked Wrasse has become my favorite fish in my smaller reef. I'm surprised I don't see more of them. Pretty color, doesn't bother anyone, doesn't need sand and doesn't jump. He just hovers around doing his thing all day.

Pink Streaked Wrasse. We picked one up a couple months ago and once settled spends a good amount of time weaving in and out of the rocks and crevices. Has a hover - like swimming style and moves very precise and calculated. Fun to watch and definitely an unique and colorful fish.
(Sorry it's lights out and I don't have any pics on my new phone so this will have to do)
Someone beat me to it! But highly recommended

Gobies! I love them, and have had them in every tank I've had. Yashas were in my last tank, with a pistol shrimp. This tank will have a bunch of gobies, a harem of anthias, and a pair of clowns.
