The Wrasse Lover's Thread!

Gonna need some IDs on some of these wrasses! #1/2, #4, #10/11?

Also, what in the world are they feeding that filefish? My understanding is they only eat coral.

Do you not recognize a slippery dick when you see one??

#1&2 - Coris caudimacula

#4 - Thalassoma hebraicum

#10&11 - Halichoeres hortulanus

I guess it isn’t a slippery dick. Never realized how close C caudimacula and H bivittatus look

They do look very similar!
They have the bivittatus in stock every now and then

Anyone able to ID this wrasse for a local? I originally thought pintail, but after seeing the second photo have doubts. Could be a female anything.

Is it Wrasse Wednesday? I got all 3 (plus the Fox) in a single shot! Ok, it's an FTS but they're all huddled together around the Foxface.

That makes me want a Leuco so badly, I miss my first one - she was a stunner.

LFS had some fun friends in today. I had time to stop in between my 2 patients. I really need a bigger tank...

Not a wrasse, but one they don't have in often and he posed for me.

I absolutely love the Coris dorsomacula, I’ve got 2 at my LFS and they truly are gorgeous in person. Wish I could get a Black Leopard to survive, they’re gorgeous and I would love a pair or trio in the 5 foot.

Easy!! Cirrhilabrus katoi - I love this species and its definitely one to consider for a later Cirrhilabrus species in a tank.
