Here are mine:









I also have a linespot but haven't gotten a good picture yet.

I have a melanurus currently but haven't photographed him yet. This is one from my old tank:

Here are some of my favorite pictures I've taken of Hunter's wrasses:

 

[ingtar_shinowa]

Great photography skills. Hunter has a nice stock list. When I first saw his setup I had 2 wrasse, now I have 5, and am stocking a new 125g for mainly wrasse.

 

[alberthiel]

Great looking and great pics for sure

 

[KoleTang]

What's the scientific name of the hunter's wrasse?

 

[Aquaph8]

Hunter is a person (Evolved)I'm assuming your talking about the first pic though and it's Cirrhilabrus johnsoni, followed by Paracheilinus octotaenia, Cirrhillabrus nahacky, Paracheilinus bellae, Cirrhillabrus earlei and Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis

LOL! ound:

I'm not laughing at you, but rather at the irony.

Hi, I'm Hunter. Those are my wrasses! :xd:

Hunter, you have a C. Lunatus don't you? That's one I don't see ever, got a pic.

 

[KoleTang]

Bahahaha! :laugh:

I was thinking "I've never heard of that one before".

On another note, how would Paracheilinus octotaenia do with Cirrhilabrus solorensis? They're not the same genus, so I'm assuming they would be OK, correct?

 

[MyReefMonkey]

Beautiful wrasses!

I do have a couple older ones which I took. They don't hold a candle to zibba's quality however.

It's an exceptionally shy species. I tried twice with a female alongside him; both times they shied away into hiding and withered away. Even the male isn't exceptionally bold, and is low in the hierarchy. He's reverted a bit, but I still hope he'll get the bold black markings when he matures. It was just starting to get there when I got him. He does have some nice irridescent stripes down the back which don't show in the photo.

P. octotaenia is a notable exception to the timid, shy norm of the Paracheilinus genus. Not only is the species quite bold, but it's a BIG flasher. This guy is bigger than many of the Cirrhilabrus in my tank. But yes, mixing those two will be fine. Do note however, the terminal male P. octotaenia isn't the best shipper; females and sub-males fare much better.

Great fish!

My experience with them as well.
