thought i would share these with you..i have not seen my laboutti display in more than a month but for some reason this afternoon he was going at pretty good never could get a very nice clear shot and one when he had his anal fin spikes out..he moves faster than the others when he displays and deos not last near as long but here are the three best i got

Do you know what kind of wrasse it is? it was just marked fairy wrasse at the store. They had 6 of them but this was the only one with a yellow fin. The rest had red ones.

here's my seagrass wrasse....i've had him for a bit now, but only now have I been able to catch him on my camera....i've had him for about 2 months and i've only seen him a handful of times....hehehe....he's got a cool way of swimming, twisting and turning almost like a ribbon...wild!.

That guys cool! Is that the one that changes shades?

 

[detguy123]

Pitcom it is a Paracheilinus flavianalis or known as the Yellow-fin flasher wrasse..it is a flasher not a fairy...the ones with the red anal fins were either a McCoskers or Carpenter's flasher..it depends on how many filaments are on its dorsal fin..if it was just one it is the McCoskers a Carpenter's has 2-4 filaments
Patwa.. that is one sweet wrasse..i seen one of those for sale at a store once and was very close to getting him

yeah.....i have not seen him change to that crazy black colour as yet, but i have noticed that his lateral markings have shifted since I saw him in the lfs

Thanks for the ID. I never knew exacty what type of flasher he was. I think this was my favorite fish until he jumped.
