Was watching some Red Sea diving videos the other night and spotted a reef crest with a few Klunziger's wrasses swimming around...
Brought back a lot of memories from back in the day picking up Red Sea shipments from Air Freight at LAX and opening the boxes to see what treasures I'd received...
True, they're mostly unsuitable for a reef tank... they might pick up corals and thow them around... just for the heck of it!
The way they "paddle around" a tank with their pectoral fins...
T. lunare found ALL OVER the place... T. lutescens... which reminds me...
Used to get trans-shipped Aussie fish and there's NOTHING like popping open a box and seeing 2-3 bags inside and pulling out 10" lutescens and a 10" Tusk...
T. Lucasanum, seen in Mexico... T. bifasciatum in the Caribbean... T. hebraicum and T. rueppellii from the Red Sea...
Love these guys!!
Any other big Thalassoma fans?
