- - So, who else has been bitten by the Fairy/Flasher/Leopard Wrasse bug? PICS ADDED!!!! (http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=81306)

i really want a blue star and potter's leopard. strangely I'm not huge on the other styles of wrasses but i currently have two greedy as heck wrasses (leopard and melanarus) and want more. I also dig me the golden rhomboid.

Lubbock's are fantastic little fairy wrasses!! Had one a while back, one of the few I didn't lose to jumping, but one of many I did lose to that stupid ritteri anemone and it's little trick of killing fish with its invisible death ray. :( I lost a rubriventralis that way too (another totally underrated fairy wrasse IMHO - have one right now and he displays like crazy. Looks awesome.)

But one habit he that he does have that has me right on edge - at around the time the lights go off, he's jumping for what appears to be the sheer fun of it. Nobody is chasing him, he's not going after food - he's just literally jumping and skipping over the water surface. Lasts about 5-10 minutes. I figure it's only a matter of time before this high-risk recreational jumping activity is going to end badly. :( I need to figure out how to get some netting up stat.

OK. So some very quick pics. Just snapped off a few frames at low res. but no time to take really good pics of these very active fish.

Great, now I "need" more wrasses. Thanks Stacey:twised:

Nice Rhomboid Stacey.

I WANT!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful wrasse. I also love wrasses. I have a blue star leopard and a mystery. Unfortunately my mystery wrasse is a jerk and chases my blue star all the time :neutral: Really need to make a lid! I also have other wrasses, red corris and sixline in the reef and a marjorie fairy and rainbow in the fowlr.
