I know I'm not alone, tell/show us your addiction to these amazing fish

i just got my first two a yellow coris and blueside fairy cant wait til they finish QT
awesome!!!! good luck with them and welcome to the wrasse addiction club lol.....be careful about sudden movements around your tank and when sticking your hands in, even with a tight fitting lid they find a way to jump out or into overflows, in the 6 years my 125 is running I've lost 2 and rescued one.

I’ve currently got the following in my RSR750:

Orangeback
McCoskers
Exquisite
Solaris

Going to add 4 Bluestar Leopards in a couple of months.

They are beautiful fish and really help control the amphipod population in my tank!
Nice!!! I love Leopards, as you know best to add them all at once and I'm sure you're buying all females? No need to spend the extra money on a male :)

Definitely going with all females. Let them sort out if one of them wants to be male.

I’m actually running the DT fallow due to a ich outbreak. So they’ll be the first ones in post fallow period. Give them time to adjust before other fish are re-introduced.

ICH stinks, battled it once in my FOWLR, didn't QT and a Powder Blue did me in, always QT with my reef for obvious reasons :)
