The male is still extremely shy.

Beautiful. I have been tossing the idea of a pair of wrasses around for a while. Those are really nice. I bet they add tons of color and motion.

Be sure and cover the tank as they're jumpers!

Beautiful fish Daniel! I have been trying to figure out my next fish addition. I had already decided on wrasses next just which ones.... Those are just awesome. Were they well packed? Did they eat right away? Are you worried about only having one male and one female (the female being harrased being she is the only female)? Did you have them shipped to your door or pick them up at the shipping facility? Sorry for all the questions.
Mail order still makes me hesitate as you know we don't get to see what we are getting muchless see them eat.

Extremely well packed. They were asleep when they arrived.
Cirrhilabrus are harem oriented. One male and one female is not a problem. She will not be picked on by the male. The opposite actually.
Brian ships ups to your door overnight from honolulu. They arrived at 9.30am.
I have one other cirrhilabrus (rubriventralis), a pajama cardinal, and a fire goby. They all get along perfectly well. Cirrhilabrus are the perfect reef fish imo. They will not be bullied, but do not bully themselves.

Brian quarantines his wrasse for a week, as well as making sure they are eating in a captive environment. You won't get a healthier fish online than this guy is offering imo. They were eating within hours of release.
