Just took 'em home from my shop.
They share a tank with......
Pygmy Possum Wrasse (Wetmorella triocellata)
Geometric Perchlet (Plectranthias inermis)
Spiny Basslet (Belonepterygion fasciolatum)
Hi Fin Red Banded Goby (Stonogobiops nematodes)
The tank has a built in refugium (you can see the exit pipe in the picture) and I seeded it with A LOT of amphipods and mysids
The Pink Streak is sexually dichromatic and these are in female coloration. I don't know if the juv. males ,in this species,look like females as with many other wrasses.

hey dave do you have a 50 foot clam under your tank at home as well? 
We have been playing phone tag (chris in nashville) and I would like to talk to you at some point. When are you usually in at your shop?
I came in to your store about two months ago and was totally blown away by that SPS tank in the back.

Dave,
as soon as you have a full size picture of one would you let us use it for the fish lexicon http://www.meerwasser-lexikon.de/index.php ?
You can add your experience and of course CC is on your name
I hope I find them here too one day!

I wondered about them as well and thought they were trying to sell P. evanidus with a different name but the price didn't jive. When I saw P. evanidus on the list as well I thought that these must be the Pink Streaked....and they were.
The Vila wrasse is usually the one from Vanuatu but it is not Cirrhilabrus temminckii .It is Cirrhilabrus cf temminckii. I assume they call it Vila after the capital which is Port Vila.
I finally figured out the Vila wrasse and you are definitely correct. It is local, apparently, to only that Vanuatu area. I have seen them refered to as a Conde wrasse before, but I believe that is a mistake. I have also seen them called peacock flasher wrasses by LiveAquaria and others but they only show female coloration I believe. They are very well colored as males.
The Pink Streaks are great fish. You can have multiple fish, they stay small, they pair and mate, they have a great personality and the adult/male coloration can be really cool. They are shy at first, but they will eventually come on out of hiding.
