They're very pretty, but they look awfully similar to Tono Fairies, which I've read are rather aggressive.

I have put one in QT with a larger Earlie wrasse. Within 5 minutes he was flashing the Earlie and pushing him around. Nothing extreme, but I removed the Earlie to be safe. Once he gets through QT he is going in with a group of larger more mature Cirrhilabrus wrasses including two 4" johnsoni a 3" jordani. Hopefully, he'll get along with them.

Mine is in with a Rhomboid and brunneus male, no problems

bonomo53 · 08/01/2016, 07:37 PM

Here is mine while in acclimation. My jordani is showing some aggression but nothing too serious.

Kinda odd that everyone has had them for between 350-600 and bluezoo suddenly has one for $80 when they are the most overpriced website you can buy fish from.... something isn't adding up...

There are two places that actually collect these wrasse. Either they got it by accident and have know idea what it actually was or didn't know what to sell it for... willing to bet you won't see this mistake by bluezoo again

That bluezoo price isnt even the wholesale price, so I kind of doubt it. That was a mistake by bluezoo. People like PIA are killing the market on fish all while not making much money and in turn making others not purchase the fish anymore. Much like NYAquatics did with Gem tangs a few months ago. Though this is good for the end users such as us, it makes wholesalers not get them as often and in turn you can end up waiting on a list for a fish from a supplier for quite sometime.

My has arrived and is acclimating.

CoralsAddiction · 08/04/2016, 12:14 PM

May be I got lucky or may be this particular wrasse species is super hardy but mine is eating while in acclimation.

scuzy · 08/04/2016, 01:16 PM

They are very active swimmers. Mine all over the qt tank

Mine ate straight into the QT tank.

cFloor · 08/04/2016, 02:23 PM

Mine ate right away as well. Literally within minutes. Very happy with this fish.

Yup! They had a handful of good looking ones last time I was in there. They also had a beautiful little brunneus wrasse, which I couldn't resist

scuzy · 08/07/2016, 09:11 PM

I bought both. The one hybrid had awesome flaring fins and the Brunneus was awesome too. It's going through quarantine right now.

I only wish I had good luck with regals would of bought ones too.

Anyone having issues with their wrasse getting bullied? Mine is getting punked by my whipfin wrasse. Might need to pull the sailfin out if it keeps up. Or would it be a good idea to isolate the whipfin for a couple days ?
