Back in Dec. 2010 I got a little 1/2" fairy wrasse. At the beginning of Jan. I had tried getting an Id on it http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=71346 I thought it might be a Marjorie wrasse but I wasn't sure. The consensus was to wait a few months and see if it changed colours etc.

Well it's been a few months and she's about 1-1/2 to 2 inches and looks the same as she did when I first got her. Pretty sure it is a female Marjorie wrasse. I tried to get a pic. but she's way to fast so I took a video to see what others think.

:lol: funny you should say that 'cause the black spot on her tail was what lead me to that Id in the first place. As far as I can tell a female Marjorie wrasse, is the only fairy wrasse that has a distinctive black dot on it's tail.
