Is there such a thing as a "dwarf lubbocks wrasse" or is it just a small lubbock's wrasse?

lol i thought the same thing the store owner swore its a dwarf i figure its just a small one haha I wasn't guna argue the fact with her

thanks every1 for your comments i actually am pretty surprized that this nano has turned out so nicely since i came from a 180G sps tank i didnt have high hopes for such a small tank but its done surprisingly well and has done much better than i thought it would its been super easy to care for so much different than my old 180g tank this one is so low maintenance and low cost which is what i like these days

I know you got real nice colors..... not saying you did it on purpose either but the rocks have the pink/blue hue of over saturation. Could just be my monitor too though...everyones is different.

Like I said your tank looks awesome...not trying to take that away with my comment.

ive run xm 20k and they make your rocks look like that in the photos because the purple cannont be remedied by adjusting white balances. Im a photo student with high end gear and even i had a hard time with that light.

Even if it was saturated, be happy it is yours. I can't make my pics look like that even if they are saturated.
