I've been practicing my fish taking.. Snapped a decent one of my Naoko Wrasse, still need to polish up on my skills though!
Edit:

Get some
You could wait it out, introducing new fish will distract him (although it will likely have to be more wrasses).

Well both of these died of bacterial infections overnight at the lfs. Trying again this Thursday.Two new additions waiting to come home. Male and female? What do you think? The one in the first pic is 20-30% larger than the other.
Looks exciting . First lesson. It’s not a coris. It is a halichoeres. C chrysus or yellow wrasse. Back to the tank. What other wrasses are you most interested in?I have a lot of reading to do, I just set up a 300g reef tank and I want to add an assortment of wrasses that will get along and not decimate my clean up crew and shrimp. Lots of options on here so I’m going to have to figure out a stocking list. I have a yellow Coris as a start. I was focusing on my tang gang to start so now it’s time for the wrasses.
Fixed it for you
Ha! What a dunce I am.
That Coris chrysus can get confusing at times!
Thank you for correcting me, I have kept reef ta is for more than 30 years but wrasses were never something I focused on especially the last 15 years or so as all my tanks have been bare bottomed and snaller (I know not all wrasses like sand but I just really didn’t focus much on fish)
Keep building your list. Then the group here can help with compatibility and addition order. For instance the naoko can be aggressive towards some wrasses. Mine gets picked on by my babi (thought to be mild mannered) due to the size of the babi. The velvet can be quite aggressive but you have a huge tank which may make this less of a concern.Thank you for correcting me, I have kept reef ta is for more than 30 years but wrasses were never something I focused on especially the last 15 years or so as all my tanks have been bare bottomed and snaller (I know not all wrasses like sand but I just really didn’t focus much on fish)
The list below is what I have identified as potential options
Naoko wrasse
Red velvet fairy wrasse
Red headed Solon wrasse
Halicores wrasses
Sharp nose (possum) wrasse
So in my searches it seems I may actually have a Halichoeres leucoxanthus as mine has a white belly
Looks like a Thalassoma hebraicum, though I'm not the best with Thalassoma.I received this stunning fish today, look at that iridescent blue and those streamers! So i thought i'd make it a little ID challenge. It's obviously a terminal phase Thalassoma. But which species? I want scientific names, not just common names!
