I have been wanted a Diamond Tail Flasher for a very long time, however, 500.00 was just a tad out of my range for a wrasse. Two of my friends here in South Texas had them for a while. Looking at my friend wrasse cause me to want them even more.
Last week, while participating in this thread, We were informed by @NYAquatic that he have some in stock. The price is better so I jumped on it.

Anyway, another friend and I ended up got one each. We ordered Thursday, 2/13/2020 and got the wrasses the next day. Both wrasse were very healthy, well pack. Have no problem. Both eat right away out of the bag. I have to acclimated them quickly over lunch. Mike told us his salinity, but I find that the wrasse come in at a little higher than what I was told. Maybe I need to re-calibrate my refractometer. I have to get back to work quickly so I feed them some dry flakes, and they ate a bit of it.
My friend have his QT full adding fish, I will keep both fish for a while, maybe three weeks until he can pick the wrasse up. They went into my QT system, which is a full 40 gal reef full of pods and macroalgale, a few junk corals, and Malu anemone. The quality of the water is very good. No detectable problem. I don't add Ca to this tank, so I think Alk and Ca is a little low, but this should not be a problem for the fishes.
Took a few pictures this AM. The smaller one is just over 1 inch and the larger is just about 1.5 inch. I am just glad that I finally get a wrasse that I wanted for a long time, and that she is healthy and eating with no visible disease or problem. Here are the pictures.

Diamond Tail Flasher wrasse
I really like these wrasses, they are probably my fav wrasse of all. So, I decided to make a thread about them. Does anyone have pictures or experience with them? Where can one be bought?
