I wish I knew why they both died because I am definitely going to try and find another of each. Tusi, that initial phase male is pretty awesome looking! Please post more pics has he continues to change.

Sorry to hear you lost the earlie and feminenes. They are tough fish to acclimate I lost two before this one. The earlie is a weird fish had three of them and grew together from little ones, one day out of nowhere lost the three in three days. They were 2 yrs old.

Not rare but I am loving this new addition. Yellow flanked wrasse. This fish has lots of personality and gets along with all my other wrasses.

So my shark fin male I pu the other day I got rid of since my buddy offered me more then I paid. So today I pu two more wrasses I ordered. Another shark fin and a flame wrasse. I go to pick them up and they are both almost males!! So I guess I got a male shark for 35$

I have a Linneatus wrasse(male) and a Ornate leopard wrasse(female transitionin into male) that get along really well and I would like to add a 1 or 2 Cirrhilabrus roseafascia. Do you think there would be any problems? The tank is a 90 gallon as well.
C. roseafascia grows to be one of the largest Fairy Wrasses, and is usually pretty aggressive towards other Fairy Wrasses. I think a 4' 90 gallon is too small for it once it reaches 5"+, and would likely not allow you to add any additional Fairy Wrasses down the road. I would consider a Flame Wrasse (C. jordani) instead

If you have a sandbed, how about doing a Leopard Wrasse and/or Halichoeres? Here is a good thread with info on genera and specific species: All About Reef Safe Wrasses | 3reef Aquarium Forums
If you do add a new one, make sure you use an acclimation box

I have a 5" sand bed!!! I am unsure of a leopard wrasse I always hear bad stuff about how touchy they are. Always hiding. I think the are awesome to look at!!!
Once they are acclimated to your tank, they are always out and about. Very active fish! Start with a Halichoeres if you are nervous, as they ship better in general.

Sounds good. I did forget about two other wrasses I got roaming around...
