Pair of Filamented Flasher Wrasses

[DarthSimon]

Hey guys,
Are these considered delicate fairy wrasses?? I have multiple wrasses, all of which never give any other new introductions a hard time... Have a Flame, Labouti, and Pink Margin, all Terminal makes... Tank is large 220... Couple of tangs, and few smaller fish...,

So I introduced a pair last night... Gorgeous colors, one male, and one female.... They both went and hid in rocks right away... This morning I saw the male swimming around for about 5-10 minutes... He looked fine... No fish chasing it... Few minutes later vanished... Lol... As am writing this unjust spotted one of the flirting around the rocks.... Maybe there is some hope lol!!!

Are the flashers hardy??

Thx in advance!!
Steve

Ime yes they are hardy but can take a little while to settle, especially with a few tankmates already in residence.

First, they're a different genus.

Flashers = Paracheilinus
Fairy = Cirrhilabrus

They stress a bit easier than Cirrhilabrus wrasses, and take a few days to settle in. Give them some time; sounds like you have nothing to worry about.
