lol, your not kidding! the hardest part is the back of their fin is always waving which makes it really hard to get a good focus on the entire fish.

im excited to see what i can get tomorrow when i use my macro.

eh, maybe hes just a huge, really nice male.

hes twice the size of the female he was with before she jumped out of the tank.

so I assumed, but either way, loving this fish.

Great fish Jr!!! I really want a pair of those myself, but I am afraid my Purple tang would rip them up...

well he put my purple tang in his place in the first 2 minutes.

it was really funny...when all the other fish saw him acclimating, they all grouped together by a big rock and it was like a meeting (who the crap is that?)

then i let him loose and he rushed the whole group of them at once, and pretty much took control of the tank.

then he flashed and it was etched in stone who was the boss...my purple made a couple passes, and since then kept his distance.

I have a pair of flame wrasse. They are pretty indifferent. Their behavoir in my tank is much like the yellow coris wrasse. They just cruise the tank minding their business. I pretty much hand feed them each night and have trained one of them to do a trick. I make an "O" with my fingers and the female will dart through it a couple of times, like an animal jumping through a hoop at the circus. All around a nice community fish.
