So, who else has been bitten by the Fairy/Flasher/Leopard Wrasse bug? PICS ADDED!!!!

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

Whatever it is, beautiful specimen. Out of my price range but gorgeous nonetheless.

I have a McCosker Flasher (love him!). I got a six line (well my boyfriend did much to my hesitation and reservations) several months after. He was great at first. Lately I noticed my McCosker cowering a bit from the six line, I think a bit of bullying (all of the other fish are fine). My solution? Add more live rock with TONS of hiding spaces. Seems to have helped significantly, now they have their own territories.
Check out the picture I took of my McCosker!

That is definitely one of the most beautiful & colourful McCosker's I've seen. Lucky you. Watch out. Wrasses are very addictive.

Thank you! That was when I first got him. He has dulled a bit in colour since (no reason to flash) but still beautiful none the less! Wrasse's are very addictive

My latest additions:



They were huddled together under the same rock so I grabbed both of them. I saw Richs name on the tank so it made me curious. Thanks a lot Rich, my wallet is a lot lighter now...

Wow big spender!!! Don't blame the player, blame the game. You should thank me for pointing those guys out to you.

Btw I had another wrasse on hold on the other side not sure if you saw it.....I think they call them labouti and there are 2 more left....maybe...I like to quote from one of our vancouver's infamous reefer "WOW, BAG IT!"

Lol, I did thank you in my previous post, just didn't mean it.

Yeah, those labouti were nice but I thought I would leave them for you in case you wanted to form a wrasse gang and needed some langs.
