The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

[Tcook]

Picked up 2 newbies today! Both closely related to my currently weird and wonderful wrasse - one I have been after for a while…

You went and got that Amanda? Let’s see.

I wish! Honestly, it’s even better than an Amanda - two Pseudojuloides species

Atavai?

Atavai?

That’s one I’d love but unfortunately they’re too finicky for me.

Well! To stop the suspense any further meet the two newbies! Pseudojuloides kaleidos (Finally added to the collection!!) and Pseudojuloides severnsi.

Wow!!
I never see pencils at any of my LFS

Here is my contribution for today - African Exquisite Wrasse - Pretty common, but I still really like the darker color set.

My LFS had a pretty one yesterday.

Can’t wait to see the full colors of that sev

He came from a tank break down so his colours are fully there, I’m hoping to get a decent photo of him.

 

[Ballyhoo]

what can I say, I love my mystery wrasse. But he can be a bit of a bully with my red rail goby/ Firefish.

Severnsi stayed out but the other guys are down under the sand.

Pretty wrasse. How long have you had the star?

Oooooooh! Can’t wait to see pictures of the kaleidos all comfy and colored up. I haven’t read about them in a long time, but at the time they were very rare to see, so this must be a really special grab for you!

It is, I’ve been after one for a good few months now - even before I was limited on wrasse options in the 4’.
Here’s the one that started my love for them, this is in the LFS’s display;

He decided to be up early today! Tried to get his blues but it’s a pain with the camera. Hopefully these photos show off his beauty.

That peachy pink stripe at the base of the dorsal is something else! So beautiful

We have another!! Ikea 2.0. I was not messing around with drip acclimation so she went in just ~2 minutes after I got back.

Well… that shows how tired I am. I thought this was another thread
Let’s make this wrasse related… Pseudojuloides severnsi!

Went to one of my LFS to stock up on frozen today since they usually have the best prices on large sheets of mysis. Trying to stock up before the baby is born (wife is scheduled for induction on Friday). Usually I don't buy a lot of fish there since they tend to be much more expensive than all my other LFS, but I ended up leaving with an early father's day gift because wifey said I couldn't leave without them!

Pseudojuloides splendens

And it's not a wrasse, but I know y'all appreciate these as well, Hoplolatilus marcosi! No in-tank pic since it immediately went into the Watchman goby's burrow.

Also had the Halichoeres biocellatus peek out and steal some food for the first time since being introduced today, no signs of aggression from tankmates, just skittish still. No signs of the Macropharyngodon moyeri yet, but hopefully both start coming out much more frequently!
