Need help 2 ID fish at Divers Den "fish"

[lemec]

Before they change the avatar at Liveaquaria Divers Den, does anyone know what type of Wrasse (I am guessing it's a wrasse or possible basslet) is on the FISH title page, someone bought him before I could find out what it was. Thanks.

Male rhomboid fairy wrasse

Thanks.

That's the best looking one I have ever seen. I've never really liked them from other pics because they look washed out and too much yellow. Is this a pretty common coloration for the males?

[snorvich]

Yes, I bought him within 1 minute of receiving the email. Supermale Rhomboid.

Nice pickup. Post pictures when you get him. :)

What were they selling it for?

Are they a species that holds color well in absense of females? I would be trying to get a female if I got that guy...

Very nice grab snorvich. I'd have to steal it from you if I had a tank set up right now, lol. Take a pic when you get it.

Here is mine I got from my LFS he was the best I have seen until that one on Liveaquaria but I think mine was cheaper. I also think I had a better photographer for my fish(it wasn't me).

from what i have seen the males definately need a female around for them to keep their color. I only say this because a friend had a male for a while and when he added a female after about a month or more it had completely changed into more like the one for sale on LA but not quite but with the predominent purple spot on top behind the head, it was soo much more stunning of a fish when he had a female to impress and flash too.

Anydarnthing awesome supermale as well those are 2 of the best male specimens i have seen besides my friends of course ;) as it is the only one seen in person

SNORVICH you lucky guy you ;) do you have a female and if not im sure your on the hunt as wel speak right? and get us those pics i cant wait it is such a stunning supermale and ive only seen that little one from the divers den pic. congrads once again ;)
