new wrasse pics

[jessp]

i got this cool new little guy this afternoon, he was just listed as a peach wrasse. the people at the lfs had no idea what it really was, looked like some kind of cori wrasse. It did bury itself after some time in the tank as my golden cori did when first purchased. Hopefully he comes out alive tomorrow.

here are pics:

Nice, did they had more?

 

[jessp]

they actually had around 4 solares wrasse(32 each). this was the only twotone(15) they had.

That's a wicked awesome wrasse. I lost my Golden Corris after my second move. He just disappeared into the sand and never reappeared again . What is everyone's favorite, most colorful reef/community-safe/compatible wrasse?

 

[jessp]

i don't know all the names but pretty much any of roggers. i like the x-mas wrasse, the male wrasses w/ the crazy colored fins(bumble bee pattern) and other patterns as well as the white and black wrasse.

 

[jessp]

also the redtail wrasses, they are black w/ white spots and a red tail. i had a great carpenters wrasse that jumped on me. seagrass wrasse are pretty cool, twin spot wrasse are nice as well.

 

[Rogger Castells]

how a bout these two for color

 

[jessp]

yeah they pretty much say it all, just multiply those by what ten or so? that is what i'm talking about, inspirational tank is all i can say!

 

[volunteerguy]

sweet looking wrasses! i'll have to see if i can get mine to slow down long enough for a pic!

 

[jessp]

if you get a chance to take a pic of that new blenny that would be one to show off, does it still hide all the time?

 

[Rogger Castells]

not the best shot as he is still very shy but you can see him

 

[jessp]

thats a better view than i got in person, super cool. he is bigger in person, the pic doesn't show the size well

WTH kind of blenny is that?!?
He is awesome looking!
Kinda reminded me of Darth Maul from Star Wars when I first glimpsed the pic.
