Nice Red Tail; one for any collector to snatch up when you can find them.

Thanks. I've only had him for a few days. It's an early Christmas present from my wife. He looks awesome and it sure was hard to get that pic because he moves so fast. Photobomb by percula was nothing short of miraculous.

Is this a red tail also? I also have a red line but wanted to get either a green corris or lubbock. Would that be safe?

Closest thing I could find was whipfin fairy? Nevermind on the green corris cuz I read it gets big and likes inverts lol but still like the lubbock.

Looks like a Mckoskers to me. A Lubbocks would be fine. I would skip the green coris, they can get mean and they lose the lime green coloring and end up being a pale green as they get older.

My thoughts exactly.
And definitely a Paracheilinus mccoskeri.
