Flahser Wrasse ID

[CoralsAddiction]

I just bought two small female flasher wrasses. They were labeled as "flasher wrasse". I'm thinking they are most likely carpenter flasher or another possibility of being McCosker.

Nice I have been looking for a small male McCosker's

The three possibilities are P. carpenteri, P. mccoskeri, or P. flavianalis, and at this stage impossible to say visually.

Thanks. They spent at least 3-4 months at a fish store in separate "reef" systems with no one wanting them. I'm happy to have adopted them. They are so small they make my yellow assessor look huge. Haha

Both are doing good. Eating frozen foods and surprisingly 1mm pellets that I thought would be big for their mouths.
