In light of some of the other posts (inverts, and angels). I have been hearing a lot of about how much people like their wrasses. So I thought Lets see them!

Awesome potter's wrasse, Kris ... is that a S. doliatus or S. virgatus in those pictures?

And Christy and I have to say I think your tailspot wrasse is definitely a king of wrasses.

Anyhow, fairy wrasses are definitely my favourite of reef fish! I've had C. rubriventralis, C. cyanopleura and C. lubbocki. Awesome little fish!

I don't have too many pics of the ones I've kept as they're usually too fast for my camera but here are some I did manage of the C. rubriventralis when I had him: (He was sold under the common name "red fairy wrasse.")






Man I miss this fish. I lost him when I moved a few years back. I realize now that what happened was he was killed by the ritteri anemone's distress as I've had several tank wipeouts due to that anemone being moved. I will never move that anemone again without first catching all fish and moving them to safe temporary quarters.

Tony, It is a penciled foxface (S. virgatus) Wasnt too sure of the proper name..... I am absolutely loving the new wrasse. I was walking through a LFS and saw it and couldnt believe its colour. Put it on hold went home researched it, found it was a great fish for a reef. And it has been swimming around and is hanging out with my fox face. And is eating mysid and pellet. Scott, I would definately reccomend one of these Wrasses! and not to expensive under 40$...

Keep the Pictures coming.!
Kris
