feminus wrasse

[Pico1]

Anyone know where I can find a feminus wrasse? Mark and I saw one at aquatic gallery and it's gotta be the most beautiful fish I've ever seen before. I was watching it and it was inspecting every zoanthid and SPS very thoroughly! Seems like an awesome fish to have in a reef. Here's a pic of what they look like.

Best of luck keeping it alive. These guys are touchy touchy touchy. I don't know of anyone, public aquariums included, who have kept one alive for more than several months.

Apparently aquatic gallery has had theirs for awhile. I found one at liveaquaria.com for about $200 but their currently out. They also have a 14 day guarentee which is nice.

Jordan, why don't you give Billy a jingle. Did you get those zoas sent off. If not, lets do that this weekend.

And what do we say about people who claim success with an animal after 3 months?

Do you have a fine sand bed? Does the store? What kinds of tankmates will it have? How big is the tank it's going to go into?
