Here are the newest wrasses to my tank, their in there with 4 Lineatus, Exquisite, Punctatus, Roseafascia, Rubrisquamis, and a unidentified juvenile. Couldn't put them in the other tank since I have a Flame pair in that tank and they look too much alike plus the mystery is in that tank.

What are peoples opinions of adding a yellow wrasee (aka yellow coris wrasse) to my group of fairy wrasses. It seems I have read it is fine, but want to check here...

I have a Lineatus, Flame and Scotts.
 
I have a radiant wrasse (similar to yellow coris) with mine. I have never seen any aggression in my current tank or when they were in the smaller tank. The only fish my radiant wrasse would fight with is a midas blenny.
 
This is very weird. I added a yellow tang to my 75 today. I just noticed tonight that my C. jordani that had morphed from female to male appears to be morphing back to female coloration. The fish has a definate female purple sheen to her sides now. Is it possible that the yellow tang has something to do with this???

unlikely unless you have a confused fairy wrasse :) Maybe she has has no reason to stay male so she is turning back to female?
 
My red margin wrasse was a sub-male and now has become a supermale albeit not as colorful as he could be if I added a couple of females.
 
A couple pics of my male Flame Wrasse from today.

I purchased him as a female (pic in my avatar is from about 2 weeks after i bought it) and within a month he had taken on full male colors. He is gets brighter all the time and i am guessing he is on his way to becoming a supermale.

full male transformation? That is so cool! Flame wrasse are my favorite :)

I do not believe he'll become a full out supermale without any females though.
