Anyone kept these two wrasse?

Saw a couple of nice wrasse today which seemed really peaceful and being halichoeres species i'm guessing they would be good additions.

Has anyone kept these as i've never seen them available over here

Halichoeres cosmetes

Halichoeres nebulosus

the only thing was this one was i could see what looked like damge to the mouth. It looked healed but there is part of the bottom jaw missing i think. It was eating well but i know how problematic mouth damage and poor shipping can be with these wrasse. What do you think?

I say doomed on that latter one; sorry.

Did you buy them yet or is that pics from LFS

I didn't buy them no. Those are pics from the lfs. The adorned was very tempting but the picture wasn't for sale due to its mouth. It was really eating like a pig though and it looks fairly healed. Could it be an old injury rather than a shipping?

Unfortunately you were right. The mouth had looked healed but it obviously wasn't. It had began to erode away again and it hadn't been feeding so was put out of its misery. Shame as it was a stunning species.
The other appears to be doing great but would love to know if anyone has kept either and how they did.
