Let Me ID Your Wrasse!

[eatbreakfast]

Oh ok so fair price then. I'm kinda curious on how much males cost, but I'm not gonna bother you too much. Thank you very much!

Males get pretty big, so shipping costs more. A good sized male will retail $150-300.

At the LFS in a cube with poor visibility, labeled pink margin fiary... I have a rubrimarginalis, and this dude's nothing like him...what are we looking at, really? The tank's got algae clouding up the view.

Looks like a flavianalis flasher, but would need better pics to i.d. for sure.

A McCoskers or Carpenters Flasher would be my guess.

 

[Seanislav]

Not sure this helps...but it's about as good as I can get.

Ok. Now I dont think its either P. Carpenteri nor P. Mccoskeri

 

[saltyhog]

Definitely P. flavianalis

 

[eatbreakfast]

I agree. P. flavianalis.

Thanks much. Any potential compatibility issues with H. melanurus, H. timorensis, C. rubrimarginatus, a female Anampses (Psych head tamarin), and/or a large cleaner wrasse that anyone knows of? Not sure about the age of this individual either...it's pretty large...maybe about 3" or so.

It should be fine. Just use an acclimation box to introduce it.

Pseudocheilinus octotaenia, eightline wrasse.

As @eatbreakfast stated, that is a Pseudocheilinus octotaenia, Eightline wrasse. He is a mean one. Not the Eightline Flasher wrasse which is Paracheilinus octotaenia. I got confused on this when I first keep Flasher and Fairy wrasse so I did not want @AB_Reefer to be similarly confused.

This is not my fish, I was flipping through images and saw it. Even dead it is very pretty. I can tell it is fairy wrasse, or possibly a flasher but other than that I'm lost. Any idea what kind of wrasse it is?

C. Lineatus.

[QUOTE="HairyGary, post: 6261701,

I thought it looked familiar. I was daydreaming over one the other day. At least until I saw the $300 price tag.

 

[Seasidedeb]

I need ID on these 3 please. At the lfs. First is a separate fish from 2 and 3.

 

[saltyhog]

Difficult to say for certain on the first but I think that both of the first two are P. flavianalis. Third one I think is something in C. cyanopleura complex. I'm sure @evolved or @eatbreakfast will check in soon.

 

[Mortie31]

H all, hope you can identify this wrasse for me, he’s about 4.5” long

 

[Seasidedeb]

ID please. Thank you in advance.
