Haha, I've been thinking the same exact thing, especially since I've been buying wrasses. Been talking to Brad and somebody else on another forum about the Attenuatus as well.

I know someone else on this form has them to, apparently they are not bad in price roughly 300 but they are just rarely important.

I feel like thats not fair those Attenuatus horders they need to learn to let them go around.

Gonna talk to my fish guy to see if he can come up with any of these.

Brad/Marvin/Sara, know anywhere else that would be a good contact to look for one?

those fish have really great colors, how often do they "flash: is it mating that triggers it or is it like a defence mechanism

These fish are a good way to add color without having to put big fish in a nano tank.

Yeah, he is nice looking for sure, more vivid colors than the first pic. I need to clean up my tank and then get some good shots. I got a Pink Margin too, but it was hanging out in the back, hard to take a pic.

Thanks. I'm very happy with him. He kinda looks like a carpenters or McCoskers with those stripes, haha.

I've been looking for one for a while on LA or DD, and they I got the preview email the other day, and knew I was ordering him. There is supposed to be another on LADD today.

i bought a fish today labeled as a flasher wrasse. i am not sure what is tho. it has a red dot on each pectoral fin and its body is a yellowish and red. it also has one filament. i know a pic would help, but he is currently hiding. i was just wondering if anyone had any leads in what direction this guy might be?

I would guess Mckoskers or Carpenters. They are the most common.

Wow, just read through the thread and realized I've never submitted any of mine. Guess its because I sent some via PM and then never got back to the thread LOL. Anyway, here are some of my McCosker's male and female - not the greatest pictures but oh well.
