Thumbs up Not quite the same but seriously rare ....

I saw a couple rare Wrasse at Red Coral Calgary on New Year's eve day that had me drooling silly.

Not exactly the same but stunning... it was either a Lineatus (Cirrhilabrus lineatus) or Rhomboid (Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis) wrasse.

It was a male without doubt.

They also had a killer pair of Aussie Flame wrasse! They're Cirrhilabrus jordani and beyond-words stunning....

Then there was this black Tang with orange markings... and all my tanks are too small and big one not ready yet...arrrrgh!

Have never seen one before, nice looking wrasse but it's lacking a bit of color in the body. Have you ever tried a Labouti? Great looking fish with lots of personality, they go for a little cheaper than that guy also.

I have had a few over the years. They are usually about 4" - 5" long and not that shy. Will eat readily, especially Pacifica plankton. Like any Fairy wrasse they like to jump.
