[WayneL333]

If a rainbow acan, or chalice, or acro could be a wrasse, this wrasse would be it!!! I just saw a picture of it on the other reef blog. It's spectacularly beautiful!!!

It looks like it was collect in the deepwaters of Japan and yup, you guessed it, it currently resides at BH. Me wants it BAD!!!

Heres a video of it:

Wow, I wasn't expecting the tail to be so solidly colored. Gorgeous fish!

But hey, with all that money beiong thrown around there, can someone drop a few bills on a decent camera?

They have a female lancelotus here in nj at a local lfs. I just can't spend that money right now and it is probably because it is a female and does not look like that fish in the video

I figured that one would have sold by now, I haven't been to the Lfs since they got it in. As for price I don't remember exactly but I believe it was over 2 grand.
