Hey Jacob, it's doing fantastically. I am extremely pleased. It destroys PE mysis, however doesn't seem to interested in pellets (it took a few when I first got it, but now doesn't seem interested. it gets excited when I feed pellets, but quickly realizes there's no mysis for him so will go about picking at my rockwork).
I'll try and get some pictures later, but please know they won't be up to the quality of the one that Kevin posted of it when it was for sale!

Thanks for the vote, I'm sure other Halichoeres owners will represent too! Those are some beautiful photos. That ornatissimus is very nice!!
@Dave,
That's great. It seems that the rubricephalus are actually hardy fish if you get a healthy one to begin with. Don't worry about the quality of the pics, everyone here will be happy just to see more wrasse pics
Question for anyone else who owns any Halichoeres - have you had any issues with them going after snails or crabs, or any aggression towards other fish? Both of mine totally ignore the clean up crew and there are no quarrels with other tank mates.

So, here are a few quick shots as requested, and much overdue!
Here's a pic my friend took of my Red-Head Wrasse - Male (Halichoeres rubricephalus). I've had him since early February of 2010.
Beautiful, this is the one helichores I have no luck with so far, have tried 3 already and none made it for a week.

Awesome Dave! Very nice fish, glad to hear he's doing so good. Is there a little damage to his tail, or is it just the camera angle?
In general, shoot with a shutter speed at least 1/125 second, or faster. Wait for them to slow down, while they're checking out a potential tasty snack or whatever might have them preoccupied is an opportune time to snap a pic

I don't think I already mentioned it, but between my two Halichoeres my flatworm population has been decimated in a short time. Before I might have had hundreds, maybe even a thousand or more planaria visible on the glass of my tank, now maybe one or two individual worms. I'm actually happy there are a few still around... free fish food!

Jacob, there is actually a little damage to his tail. That occurred shortly after I introduced him. I have NO idea how it could have happened and no one in the tank is giving him any trouble! It's healing, however somewhat slowly.

My little baby yellow in QT. Barely an inch long. Not much there to take a pic of.

Well I finally banished the shrimp to another tank and got myself a Halichoeres wrasse. I found a 2" H. melanarus that I couldn't pass up, she/it has a huge belly and started eating the day after arrival. It's currently in QT, here are a few pics, ignore the anthias they are camera hogs.

very nice photos ! that bad boy certainly is fat and happy ~
I told you all my fish are overweight, because I feed alot to get my neoguinaicus fat
I have two bad boys btw. Both of my chrysus are males.
