What is that wrasse?

A Red Sea Broomtail wrasse

How is the broomtail with smaller fish that would fit in its mouth like the scribbled?

The broomtail very peaceful actually.. Not aggressive all...

I really like them but worry about smaller fish for obvious reasons. I have only ever seen one juvenile broomtail wrasse offered for sale and it was 4-5", all others were closer to 10".

Did you get the broomtail from Michael?

To me all fish are RARE!
They come from the ocean as God gift to us, but we might need start giving back, BIG time soon!
If you have a nicely layout as a aqua scape than every fish looks rare.
Wrasses are awesome but they jump and even with a good fitting screen on top they still manage to jump out, so for that I quit buying wrasses.
I've spend close to 5k on them and be done with it.
Angel fish are nice but it's always a challenge with corals, I have three myself and thank God they're blind for corals, Scribbled, bandit and rare Hawaiian flame.
Swallowtails are awesome as I have 4 of them, Bellus pair and Masked pair.
Instead of wrasses I'm going to try a harem of Anthias, they will be all over the place just need to feed a bit more.
So far great thread.

you got a Scribbled to pass on your corals and you've got everything they could possibly want. did you add him later when you had a good bit of sponge growth?

Don't have the scribbled anymore it wasn't my fish, no personality.
Gave it to a friend.
And yes it was nibbling on my SPS only as my other angels too but not to the point that it would hurt the coral.
Matter the fact is my corals are growing a bit faster with angels than without them.

Definitely genuine eye candy. People dig in the ground to find gold and diamonds but, these are real gold and diamonds... Bravo

I got some uncommon fish today, a yellow chromis and a striped chromis

They are stressed from shipping and changing habitats but starting to color up and have the yellows come out. They are eating and out in the open but still skittish and shy, but I can’t wait for them to get these colors back

 

[VintageReefer]

Wow these chromis are fast and don’t stay in place for a second. These are the best pics I could get

Last pic has the striped chromis also
