Have you planned on getting another Cross hatch?

I would love to. But they are so hard to find. Haven’t seen any become available. But I have a lonely male if anyone wants to part with a female.

Fingers crossed you find one eventually - They’re beautiful fish and I’d love one if I didn’t have a medium sized tank (4’x2’x18”)

Stripey is getting on my nerves - If he goes at one more SPS then I won’t be happy haha.
Only reason I forgive him is that beautiful golden line on his back.

These guys are in my current tank. My wrasse is really pretty in person. I got her from a lfs (special order) and she was maybe an inch long. Grown so much. The yellows are buddies so far so good after 2 years together.

Were the yellows added at the same time ?

That earmuff actually looks to be a male.

How do you tell with an earmuff?

 

[DeniseAndy]

I do not think it transitioned yet. In person, she is a bit paler and has the spot on the fins still. I have had her almost two years, so maybe getting there or working on it. I will have to get used to saying him soon.

 

[DeniseAndy]

Were the yellows added at the same time ?

Within 2 months of each other. Yellow tangs first.
Wait were the tangs added together yes at exactly the same time. The wrasse was 2 months later. Sorry. Not sure which you wanted to know.

Female/Juveniles will be a VERY pale pink, usually looking white. When they begin the transition they go a nice pink shade and it’s much more obvious. Here’s a transitional male, almost completely transitioned.

Guess mine transitioned. Seems young, but it is not very pink anymore. It was in the beginning. Cool. Thanks.

Just because, here is her in qt. Such a little baby. The pvc is like 1.5"

Here’s a better photo of a mature male. I think yours is transitional however I could be wrong. Got any better photos with the dorsal fin and anal fin showing?

Also, here’s some more photos

Unfortunately I cannot get good shots of her/him. I will look today. Wow, no spots on dorsal fin. I swear she had them a few days ago. So weird.
She is a bit more yellow right now, but definitely transitioning. I will try to get more shots of her full turned soon.

We derailed this a bit, but still lots of cool pics!

A new friend arrived today and is looking good in QT. I am kind of pleasantly suppressed how deep its color is and how big it is.

I think it’s weird how they are marked almost like a sailfin but yellow .
Beautiful fish though !

Now I know why they’re labelled as Yellow Sailfin Tangs over here, I still prefer the full sized sailfins and the rostratum though.

The fully extended fins was really the main reason why I chose this photo even though the angle is not the best.
