Eightline Flasher Wrasse (Paracheilinus octotaenia)

[MarvinsReef]

seems like most went to the R2R family. Thanks again Bryan for the heads up. I haven't been on top of the wrasse world lately and I'm looking forward to adding the 8 Line next week.

That went fast. LA out already. Glad I got one

Wow, you weren't kidding. They even removed them from the Wrasse - Reef Safe page, haha.

Glad all you guys were able to get one. Keep the thread going once they come in so we can share ideas and the experience.

No problem Marvin, glad you got one. Hopefully he'll be flashing some red/yellow in that tank so you'll see something other than orange and white

I'm waiting a week before getting him shipped. Don't want to rush it like the last one

Agreed. I trust that Quality Marine has probably had them for a bit before LA offered them for sale, or at least I hope so. I asked for mine not to be shipped til next Thursday so it'll have an extra week as well. Plus that is when I'll "work from home"

The eightline is doing well today but is still pretty shy. As soon as he'll give me a clean shot I'll get some pics. He's gonna look amazing flashing in the reef.

I just got one ordered but put it in my cart when I got the email this morning. Hope I wasn't too late but I did get a confirmation.

Look what I just saw

My LFS is getting 4 of them, one is coming to my tank :bigsmile:

 

[btkrausen]

Nice to hear man. PIA mentioned a few weeks ago that they would be getting some in soon....looks like they've landed.

Interesting to see that your LFS is getting them...looks like the divers scooped up a ton of these guys.

 

[dnov99]

Yep. There are tons of them around.

I knew it! :hammer:

I wonder if they'll reach this side of the country. most likely the CA retailers will get the bulk of them.

 

[MarvinsReef]

just checked PIA site and they're not there anymore.

LOL!!! Well I am in NJ and I am pretty sure these came from quality marine.

 

[Aquaph8]

Yeah me too, where'd you see that Bryan

Facebook. PIA puts up pics on their Facebook page sometimes before they go on the site or announce them on the forums.

That would complete my collection. I have a lennardi coming next month. The Bellea is my holy grail but a little out of my price range for now
