Saw your comment on my thread and had to look to see if you posted pics of your new fairy wrasse, and here it is!

You're right... I absolutely loooove it!! Wow, what gorgeous colors!! You held out waiting on this color varient for good reason!

Can't wait to see pics of it in your tank!

that is a male pictured there..the females are all pink with a black dot at the caudal peduncle (the tail)..there are quite a few fairy wrasses that the females look like this...when courting a female or fighting the males will show an increase in color...juv and feamles look the same

for all of you that thought this fish is cool...check out the color change when displaying and this was not the best...he can change color to where his fins are bright blue/white and his body turns all red
