Crazy Lion,
Dont take all what the shops are writing as if it is right.
To put a fully grown adult Scott in a 55 will be a crime.
They are active, the need the swimming space and they are a Large wrasse.


Another thing....anybody have a Cirrhilabrus bathyphilus?
 
I purchesed this from DR's F&S about 3 weeks ago.It was just called Cirhabillus sp.,but I'm pretty sure it is bathyphilus.Mine is about 3" and does't have a lot of dark blue accent yet.The head is more rounded and the mouth less pointed than any of my other fairy wrasses.I haven't been able to get a pic of him,this is the pic from DR's F&S-

Yes I know Villi_Shark, I was just comparing a similar sized fish and their different tank requirements from one website, not taking them as a fact just using them for comparsion. But thanks for the info.
 
It's an amazing fish, I cant wait to get my hands on one.

I saw some in Hong Kong and they were all sold out, the female is kind of yellowish, with the black markings on the fins.
 
wehave 2 red hooded a flasher and a rubomarginatus at my LFS right now, all of us employees are amazed by them but a little turned off at the $100- $150 dollar price tag, even with my discount thats not something i can do right now
 
Sounds like a Vanuatu shipment, all the Vanuatu shipments I saw had both species in.
The Rubrimarginatus from Vanuatu are much nicer than the Phillipines ones.
 
Here's my contribution. :)

Cirrhilabrus solarensis:

EDIT: But unfortunately, the fella was persistently harassed by a diamond goby a week after its initial introduction... RIP :( :( :(
