nice catch ,should be a nice addition to you collection . what are you gonna house her with ?

Thanks iamwrasseman! I have multiple tanks, all have various fairy and flasher wrasses but I think I will put her in a tank with no other leopard wrasses. I am still hoping to get a Choati so I want to reserve a place for that. It is fall in Australia but I hope that there will be more shipments of fish coming.
