![]() Picked this bad boy up from my LFS. I believe it is a Male Hooded Fairy Wrasse, it was sent to them as a Flame.

![]() I thought its a Tonga flame wrasse...still a nice wrasse, I didn't pick it up cause I was scared that it would fight with my Hawaii flame. I hope that female red margin is still alive there.

![]() Hooded Fairy Wrasses, Tongan Flame Wrasses, and as well as the Nahacky's Fairy Wrasse are all variants of each other. This particular Wrasse has more similarities to the Coral Sea Hooded Fairy Wrasse than the Tongan Flame. I've spent the past few hours Googling and comparing pics of each variant of the species.
It has settled in with my Wrasse family very well. No fighting at all, although the Flame is flashing like no tomorrow. He is the King of the tank, at least that's what he thinks he is.

The above site calls the "Tongan Flame" as the Nahacky's Fairy Wrasse. The Wrasse I picked up resembles more along the lines of the species Cirrhilabrus Bathyphilus than the Cirrhilabrus Nahackyi

However, I think it will be easier to keep them with the 210.

![]() I only have one six line wrasse on a newly setup tank but I am seriously considering stocking it with more Wrasse instead of other fish I had in mind. Anyone have suggestions for a smaller but awesome looking wrasse? My tank is 33 gal

I would've held off on the sixline since it can be aggressive towards other wrasses with the same body shape. Try some flasher if you like but be warned that wrasse are super addictive and once you start man oh man its hard to stop.

![]() Hmmm. I noticed that six lines can be aggressive, mine likes to nip at the two firefish I have at times. Do they get along with not-wrasse a bit better? I was planning on getting a pair of black/white clowns and a flame angel eventually but am seriously considering more wrasses instead.

![]() Does your firefish even come out with the sixline roaming around? Dwarf angel and clowns are tough little fishes so I wouldn't be worried about them. Do some research before you add any other wrasses but I can tell you they are one of my favorite fish.
