Just for a comparison to show color differences here is my male Pylei.

 

[reefjunkie42]

is that from cebu ?

When I fed the tank Rods food, he came out to play. Since then, he's not gone in. Very very beautiful. I'm a wrasse convert now. These will be my goal for a new /bigger tank

 

[roktsintst]

what wrasse is that?

 

[Emerald525]

This is my favorite wrasse in the tank. It's a Linneatus supermale. He's the king of the tank and won't let me add any more wrasses now.

 

[Dazed1]

what wrasse is that?

Line spot flasher (Male)

 

[reefjunkie42]

dazed, he should eventually have a larger tank with more swimming capacity. they are very active swimmers and small confines are not good for there long term health

Yup. I realized that earlier today. The size listed on DD was smaller (2 1/4")

Looks like its a good excuse to plan out a new tank in the next year or so.

Dazed1- Nice its the perfect reason to start keeping more wrasses too big tanks rock.

i was messing around tonight when the flashers and faries started to put on a show. This usually happens around 5-6 everyday.

Ive always wanted a hooded but dont know how well my C.rubripinnis would tolerate one.

I know it's not 'rare'...but maybe someone knows something, about the color change of my Naoko's...
in this pic the upper color went from red to dark red...it is now black...is that possibly a female to male or (dare I say it) SUPERmale change?

not sure what makes it a 'super male'?...would you call mine a super male, also?

 

[Barracuda]

Albano,

Both pictures of the lineatus are terminal adult males; however, I would not consider them "super males". They could easily of been a Super Male on the reef or when caught, but over time they revert to adult males.

A "Super Male" would maintain "Breeding Coloration" at all times. This generally requires a Hierarchical harem of immatures, females, submales, and are under constant threat of predation and reproduction influences.
